ARE POEMS WAIF?
So, in tissue 17 S2, our waif creators/gods/goddesses/gender-neutral version asked us if we want to include poems to submit into waif (coz reading are what? F.U.N.D.A.M.E.N.T.A.L) and her is my answer to that:
(before I start please don’t come at me for grammar and punctuation and stuff coz I failed English in high school (re took it tho) lol my mum was really angry and also I think I should let you know that I am also kinda high ——— (c a n n a b i s) but not like top high level you know I can walk)
---are poems waif?—-
Answer: I think the fuck not
In every issue our creators of waif insert a page, usually the second, to remind our waif nation of what it actually is. Now to compile a little list of waif is and isn’t w a i f:
Is waif
Waped veed of course
Bangs (to inclue dora)
Special k coz all the other letters
are not good enough that they revolt
coz they actually are enough
Corn in your poop
Is not
Trix (that American thing. Maybe
cereal?
Granda not knitting a hat (hat must
be being made for you to be included)
Not us (unless we want to be)
I think what makes waif so simple in this demanding world is that it doesn’t have any expectations. To be waif is to be nothing more than you need to be. Just you straight up chilling not matter how bored, weird or not enough you feel you are. If u wanna be waif then fuck it, you are, if you want your beady eyes to be waif then fuck it ,they are.. . to be continued
Now lest dive in (David Attenborough voice)(if u don’t know it’s the guy in the British nature documentary)(the geography teacher in my high school was a straight up whore for him, like the guy would get a boner or something to him)(waif editors u can take that bit put if you want coz its kinda rude my bad) Anywyas, lets see why somethings are waif and why some are not
Trix Vs Special k
special k is special k. you want to eat cereal and you have special k; you’d eat it. Coz it’s what? special k cereal. Plain and simple. But Trix? Trix are for kids. It not that simple anymore. Trix not just Trix. Its Trix but for kids. Man its just not the same. Trix is more than its needs to be. It could just be Trix periodt. But unfortunately, that is not the case so Trix is not waif. Mini announcement- Arab music slaps so hard. Its great. Good suggestion: search shik shak sho on YouTube and it’s a dancing song. Or ask your local Arab.
your grandma not knitting a hat is so complex. Your grandma is so versatile, and she is not simple at all. She is not just waif, and will never be because she is so much more than she needs to be. She is above and beyond and we gotta respect our grandmas for that (unless they’re misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist etc,) but when your grandma is knitting hat? She nothing but a nice old lady knitting a hat. On the other hand, if your grandma wanted to be waif then sure she can be, we welcome her with open unjudgmental arms (blue).
When you read a poem so its so much more than it needs to be. Your thoughts are thinking way more than you need to be. There are so many interpretations than there needs to be. And with that comes uncertainty. And does anyone have time for that. Waif is easy and simple and not poetry.
Thank you for reading.
If this does make it into the next issue thank you and I really don’t mind if you want to include the fact that I was high or not while writing this. I think I added a new texture and idea to the table on if waif was poems. I got some really good bud (another word for weed) from my friend and I smoked some out my window. In front of a monkey tree).
