Daryl Lim Wei Jie: “Sexpose”

This poem consists of mainly found text from EatDrinkManWoman and other Singaporean internet fora. 

If you wanna sexpose someone 
and video their movement  

You deep throat using the wrong pipe  

This era is girls’ world  
Autistics do well here 

Having a kid is just for experience  

There is no bigger picture 
Only religion say there is 

Example kong hee  

We use whatever is burned for us 
I need to be reborn now  

Chinese privilege is going to hell after death  

The spiciness can numb the pain 
Means your stomach is washing machine  

I sleep on a thin piece of towel on the floor   

Clone replying to clone
Clone say your mouth is at his groin height  

            Clones are acceptable to me if they r friendly and courteous
