I haiku you (9 months with a flat earther in class)

The earth is a sphere.

This class is, sadly, flat.

You find no contrast.

Her hair flips again,

your lips flap out of context.

Another Wednesday.

To you: Birds are real.

Birds are real. Birds are real. Birds

are real. Birds are real.

"Trump won, idiots!"

But you are the idiot.

How the turn tables.

A Karen, a boy.

Asks for the teacher--frequent.

A Karen. A boy.

I'd be remiss if

I didn't point out the good:

"THE GOOD" TBA

If the world was flat,

would I push you off the side?

No body no crime.

"Harvard brainwashes!"

Someone's spicy. Whatever,

more space for the rest.

If my business

isn't the government's,

then why is it yours?

I listen to Lorde.

My friend listens to Dodie.

You listen to Q.

*your brother passes*

Whoever's brother just passed,

your mom's a Karen.

You didn't say that.

I'll just pretend you didn't.

Wash my ears with soap.

Today's a good day.

It's Women's History Month.

I beg you sit down.

You like The Office

and giving fans a bad rep.

Pam wouldn't approve.

Aunt B and Tay Swift

are honorary gen z's.

You're the opposite.

I play four square with

a ball printed like the earth.

I see it, I laugh.

dssdsgfdssdsg what an odd year

ALSO (because there are a lot of new faces who I don't know and won't know my humor) this is all satire. Mostly fake. Some funny. All not serious. Do I have a crazy flat earther in my class? Yes. Would I push him off the side of the Earth if it was in fact flat? *pauses a certain song from the Evermore album* No. No I would not. Would I write him onto snl? Well...maybe. Yes. But that's a whole new ball game and we don't do "missed opportunities" in this house. Also I have his mom as a teacher and she doesn't seem like a Karen, that was a parody of,,,,,well, you know.
