i haven’t felt dumb in a while
2025-02-21
i haven’t felt dumb in a while and that makes me feel really really dumb
i can’t count on yall to make me feel dumb cause you all are dumb pardon my french
dumb
and all that makes me dumber
and i got myself to make me feel dumb so i don’t become dumb
first you get numb to dumb and then
eliphany i made a word cause im dumb and don’t know the word for what im trying to say
but also smart enough to make up a word for it
but im still dumb cause you don’t know the meaning of it
and most importantly
im really really really really really fucking dumb for failing to invent a language and have
yall speak it
smart enough to go back in time to ask myself how did whoever did it have everyone
speak it
dumb enough to not figure it out
nah i probably would if i spent a little time
which would again make me smart
then another question i’d figure the answer to
then another
then another
then another
and thennnnnnn i’d be dumb back again
so hi
im dumb
how do you want to read?
poems can unravel themselves as you read, line by line, at a considered pace — or just sit there, fully visible, like normal.
change this anytime — look for “reading: …” near the top of any poem.
