Instagram Poets

They duped the legions
of shallow snowflake sugarplums
proliferating known back alley streets
hearts + minds swayed = betrayed

for Korean dramas

all you need now  
is an Instagram account  
and some cryptic sounding verses
targeted for girls who lament past relationships

allusions to past hurts / wrongs and hate
that never really occurred
