Brooke - Who Dat


Pulse.

Stand Up and Get Crunk.

               How vulgar. How am I a part of this?

Crunch.

The whole of the dome

Encompassed in sweat

Thunk.

            Oh God.

Irony

If I am the catholic school girl.

Who speaks in articulate, perfect sentences.

            How dare you use a dangling modifier.

prim.proper

          Pleated skirt

Jersey.

Both overpriced.

          Shudder at subject verb agreement

Cringe. OH beautiful Brees.

who cares.

          I don’t.

“WHO DAT.”

Brooke, age 16
