I was born & will die a Lizziebeaded pink-steaked crimped-blonde spaghetti-strapped heartthrobnow upgraded offscreen
with new teeth bear with me I hated my cute front tooth, didn’t want the world to seeinside my mouth—but otherwise my show was truth
fully Oscar-worthy it should’ve shown in shuttered theatersnot plastered like attack ads on afterschool TVs
in living rooms where no parents love youlike my trapezoid-faced dad loved meno Gordo licked your feet in a subplot never seen.
Fuck Elizabeths in long dressesFuck Liz’s in t-shirts in craft bars listenLizzie is the only dream
the neon queen of a pastel middle school memory-holed universein pants with patterns you’ll never see in nature I even had a gratuitous
cartoon Lizzie! No arthouse slop cartoonizes characters like we did casually.
Why should we be ashamed! Little Lizzie didn’t even look like me.
