The day pop culture died from a lethal injection

by Melanie Browne

Shelly’s calcified heart
& several paintings by
Jean-Michael Basquiet
Were among
The witnesses,
But by the end,
Pop culture
Was a monster,
Plastic surgery
Ruining its
Once
Angular jaw,
& pouty lips,

The truth was
Pop culture
No longer looked
Hot in a bikini
It tagged along
With some
Friends to
Rio de Janeiro

Drinking
Heavily,
It wore a leather mini,

They arrested it
At the summit
Of Sugar-Loaf
Mountain,
And brought
It in to
Be extradited
On charges
Of vapidness
And failure
To titillate
The masses

It moaned
Slightly as the end
Neared,
But otherwise
Made not a sound
