poetry: low rent version of Bennifer

I wrote this poem in October of 2024.

me and my ex

just call me J.Lo without the ass because my ex
(if we can even call him that) came back to me
after 2 years of sobriety
we’re the low rent version of Bennifer
since we’re not millionaires
or celebrities (yet)
I’m just a working class immigrant poet
and he’s my ex whatevership nordic muse

day 10 of Patty: low rent version of Bennifer

I wrote this poem in October of 2024.

my low rent bennifer phase lasted a total of 19 days before I blocked him

just call me J.Lo without the ass because my ex
(if we can even call him that) came back to me
after 2 years of sobriety
we’re the low rent version of Bennifer
except we’re not millionaires
or celebrities (yet)
I’m just a working class immigrant poet
and he’s my ex whatevership Nordic muse
