Don't do admiration

Don’t do admiration
Respect their work and creation
But don’t fabricate idols
By casting dreams on gifted people

It’s not good for you
It’s not good for them

Desperate to bask in their glow
Blinded by your own fancy, bouncing off their ego
They’ll coolly get into your head, your pants, your bra
Until you work out their aura
Is but sweat and pheromones
From animals of flesh and bones

Humans can turn into monsters
When given too much attention
Nice ones end up crushed
Under heavy expectations

Make sure you keep your dignity
And have your brain at the ready
There’s no pride in one way blow jobs
They did not produce with their cocks

Quit looking up
They’re at eye level
Respect talent and creation
But please don’t do admiration

All poems:

  • Yes yes yes, nod nod nod
  • How much of you is what
  • Don't do admiration
  • Nothing really belongs to me
  • Perfect people
  • The 5th dimension
  • The broken ones
  • Sorry you're not sorry
  • Call off the wild
  • Where can the anger go?
  • Adrift
  • This is not procrastination
  • 21st century haikus
  • Nothing
  • Paralysed
