NaPoWriMo, Day Twelve, Poem Twelve

 
Open Micer Exile
 
Away with your
open letter to
The Atlantic,

one of two 
pencil written
submissions

obsessing over
pair of panties
from fourth grade.

Nothing sounds
cute when you're
in your sixties.

You tell everyone
nobody listens
anymore anyway,

and we finally
have not listened
for the last time.

That last stanza works wonders.
