SO MANY CREEPY POEMS. They're all incredibly emo and average, but some are especially possessive and weird (45, 50, yikes). And multiple awful commas out of place! JUST USE LINE BREAKS FOR PAUSES LIKE AN ACTUAL POET.

The Static On the Line (45)
Don't talk to me like you know me. Talk to me like you love me.
The Diaries of Foreign Lovers (68)
You are so patriotic to your heart. It keeps the country together. But it tears the world apart.
[too dramatic, but an interesting concept]

I like 25 (The Truth Is Born In Strange Places), about potential that dies without privilege/luck. The premise of 43 (The Circus Is Cheaper When It Rains) is intriguing, but peters out. Why do people return to pay for illusion? And, separately, the first line, "I've taken the same ride too many times."

This book is the epitome of internet poetry. I hate the back blurb, but the first poem, The Fur, is famous online, and I did used to like it. "Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness."
