Kim’s Valentine


                        “Life is about having fun.” 
                                                         -Kim Kardashian
 
Why would one constantly want
to be calling attention to oneself
but when you take another selfie
you still can’t believe it yourself
let’s run this backwards Kim
what if the great valentine of your ass
had never been seen by the world
but one day a hundred years
after we’re all dead some shy archivist
some sad collector of antique cell phones
stumbles on your body naked in a window
in the background of some tourist’s snap
of an empty Paris street in winter
and from this one picture enlarged
and viralled all over the www
you become the Mona Lisa of that time
the smile of a beautiful woman
about whom nothing else is known
now wouldn’t that be better
don’t explain
