Lil’ girlies,
sleep your lives away
with twenty pillows,
sustainable bamboo sheets.
Ottessa’s character
bed rotted
first, in her
iconic novel,
My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
TikTokers with your towering
Stanley cups,
filled to the brim.
Charms dangling.
Snack tray optional.
Girl, you’re gonna pee
your brains out, so
how you gonna sleep,
even surrounded by your wall of
Squishmallows?
It’s ok, though.
I had Teenbeat posters
growing up.
And I made friendship pins.
Same dif, right?
Still, your way has the
not-so-subtle whiff
of depression,
not relaxation.
Sure you wanna waste
your youth
in your pj’s?
Be my guest.
I still say Ottessa did it best.
