Hello Setting Summer Suns, last week we brought you the last warm days of hot-girl-brat-super-post-modern-girl-summer through Raegan Cote’s poem. This week we bring you John’s piece “crush!”, which reads like the last sip of liquid cool lemonade, on the last day of summer vacation before having to see your school crush (and their new lover)

Short, sweet, and leaving you nostalgic, John’s piece is a glorious addition to our trapper keeper. <3


crush!

capri sun car crash hug me make lemonade sugar until i can’t taste
you and me, junkyard cube? tangled useless and fused
crushed and lapped, me 2nd place cr(a/oo)ning your 1st
i rattle for you


About the hot poet: John Robb Junior (he/they) is an inconsistent interdisciplinary bundle of emotions living in Berlin. He hosts an "after school art club" for making bad collaborative art, makes indie pop as "cozy shorts," and just finished therapy (✨for now✨). ~ IG ~ Blog ~

See y’all next week with a new hot poet!

Xoxo, PTK

Van Gogh never had to worry about getting his iPhone 7 stolen while painting en plein air, but I do.👩‍🎨
would you care if I died? (asking for a friend)
