When all else fails, laugh maniacally.
This year I would like to give my vagina more attention
to awaken my cunt kundalini
majora, minora, and fury
she’s all Venus vagintata
What an asshole!
(Hello!)
(No, I’m not talking to you)
Cycle appropriated
IUD installation fee not included
(Comes with free Wi-Fi. Password: T1T5)
Reiterate school lessons
Don’t touch, don’t look, don’t smell, don’t tempt
Because God is watching
So
I touch and look and smell and tempt
Looking up at God
Proud of my homeostasis
