bad precedent

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
roosevelt enjoyed boxing
liked to box
stood in the ring
had the prowess of a fox.
you, mr. bad precedent,
polish your white box,
so you can sport self-branded socks,
possibly self-branded crocks,
while you watch others box,
claw, kick, scrape,
peck like gamecocks,
for your royal birthday bash,
as king of an ugly, social pox.

  • Friendship

    That was a joke last night. Well said, my friend. Your poem revolves around themes of privilege, societal struggle, and the absurdity of leadership that is out of touch with reality.

      Friendship, thank you, my friend. 🙏 It really was one of those moments where reality feels like satire and satire barely has to do any work. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head and write the poem. 🥊🙏📜👑
