Reminds me of when Scorsese was shooting Raging Bull that he was supposed to shoot some home video footage that looked amateurish, but couldn't help but keep taking in these professional shots. So he gives the cameras over to the janitors and they have a ball

does anybody really
know the secret or the
combination for this
life and
where they keep it

Nobody ever told me
that i would suffer
simply suffer
for i am not a functional member of society
the dumb girl piercing my eyes
gesture her hands in a cryptic
alphabetic way

The clock ticks
and it also tocks
I have no appetite for the legislation
with celerity i touch the endless abyss
theres no reason to live
without jest
your central nervous system may evolve
but your top debilitates

pleasure and pain
a vicious dichotomy
fill me whole with your sweet sodomy
therein lies the only true feeling I'll ever have

you see me
standing

one time i went to the library and
just so you know that i went there i took
fifteen pictures
of myself
standing next to it and looking cute haha
look at this one it's of a burger i
ate that
i wanted to show everyone and also 80% of the frame is

can you believe the cutesy affected

making don't i look cute when
i'm doing absolutely
everything that i
ever do on a daily basis that i
photograph myself doing have you
seen these 214 pictures of me visiting madrid for
one day have you
seen how i stood next to
all the things and my
face was there and i was cute
hang on
don't take a picture of me let me make sure i'm posing my
facial muscles in a way that perfectly makes me
look youthful
and girlish and attractive in a series of gestures and expressions that are
half-conscious because i'm a narcissist but also
half-unconscious because i've simply
introjected a constant need to be
posing and preening and
peacocking in every moment of my fucking life and everything i do
is just a
vehicle for appending my
face to it because i’m
a woman
WOW excuse me are you misogynistic or
something it's not like i do this for
you are you kidding me you
actually think that i spend all day
every day every hour of
my entire waking life
specifically accentuating all the
secondary sex characteristics
you find attractive and
posing my face
to look cute and young for YOU
are you delusional I do this for me and
nobody else i
just like to feel attractive nevermind the fact that
attractive presupposes the question to
whom i do it for me and
nobody else now
excuse me

i take a picture of

What's the plan? For an actual book to be made?

Flying high
Birds of immense
Weight and strength
Crash!
The twins tumble
Agony, pain
Suffering
Steel beams
Can't melt
Jet fuel

I walk idly nearest an unwashed stream
Under an iron curtain from Trafalgar's dream
Metered rains won't betray old themes
But I shan't escape that capricious gleam

Though I meander through the godless wood
I hold no ire for the false fronting good
The rambling arches that at one time stood
Give way to the starlight of an old myths hood

And then went down to the ship,
Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea, and
We set up mast and sail on that swart ship,
Bore sheep aboard her, and our bodies also
Heavy with weeping, so winds from sternward
Bore us out onward with bellying canvas,
Circe’s this craft, the trim-coifed goddess.
Then sat we amidships, wind jamming the tiller,
Thus with stretched sail, we went over sea till day’s end.
Sun to his slumber, shadows o’er all the ocean,
Came we then to the bounds of deepest water,
To the Kimmerian lands, and peopled cities
Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever
With glitter of sun-rays
Nor with stars stretched, nor looking back from heaven
Swartest night stretched over wretched men there.
The ocean flowing backward, came we then to the place
Aforesaid by Circe.
Here did they rites, Perimedes and Eurylochus,
And drawing sword from my hip
I dug the ell-square pitkin;
Poured we libations unto each the dead,
First mead and then sweet wine, water mixed with white flour.
Then prayed I many a prayer to the sickly death’s-head;
As set in Ithaca, sterile bulls of the best
For sacrifice, heaping the pyre with goods,
A sheep to Tiresias only, black and a bell-sheep.
Dark blood flowed in the fosse,
Souls out of Erebus, cadaverous dead, of brides
Of youths and at the old who had borne much;
Souls stained with recent tears, girls tender,
Men many, mauled with bronze lance heads,
Battle spoil, bearing yet dreory arms,
These many crowded about me; with shouting,
Pallor upon me, cried to my men for more beasts;
Slaughtered the heards, sheep slain of bronze;
Poured ointment, cried to the gods,
To Pluto the strong, and praised Proserpine;
Unsheathed the narrow sword,
I sat to keep off the impetuous impotent dead,
Till I should hear Tiresias.

Rock that Ass

Coming out of the darkness
is a sexy fine figure
Standing there,
ass bare
Blending into the dark,
black t-shirt hanging
above her naked ass
She looks back at you
Face, shirt, ass

Open lip, rocking ass
Rock that ass she goes
She rocks that ass so fucking hard
that she don’t need no clothes


Dat ass tho

Outside in the rain
Is a girl about thirteen.
She is wearing black pants.
Skin-tight pants.
Yoga pants.

Her rear might as well be naked,
Her body is a sinuous curve
And I can’t get past
How this person exists
And shows off so.
And I need to release it all
But I keep it locked inside
But that ass, tho.

it got rocked too
that was a good memory

it just makes you think, you know
about all the rocked asses
it's crazy

sometimes i think all the asses in other countries
the ones that never get rocked

but, it is what it is

i hope you write more poems

OP -- you do not have the time to create an alt-persona for this book.

The most simple, effective -- and perhaps most devious -- scheme you can pull is to simply misattribute this entire collection and select excerpts to Rupi Kaur.

Spread it rampantly across social media in order to distort her real output. By doing that, no one -- including most of her fans -- will know what the hell is real and what's fake.

Welcome to the post-truth era of 2017.

...Cuando Quiere No Puede


Dreaming, biflamed candles demonstrate the virtue
Of self-erasure, a month in, tape-looper fugues
Efface my speech. Awake, I remain an ape of words
Slinging the names learned on this throat
On classrooms, on wetmarkets, charming seducees
With the hushed whirrs of wet superstrings
(Grammar books translated
to commas and dashes)

Last year's ash made a monk of my shadow,
Gone off to study violence in ambient
Amongst processions of stags at Sussex
And in Sussex alone do deers
Have pain's halo spiral on their hooves

And I ask myself:

"Are your ears wise enough to sift
The ambivalent notes of muscle and desire
Stuffed in browtine stabs caulked by fur
From the wind's tussled treacheries
Engirdling deer, leaf, and rifle?"

Cervine austerite, sin luz
Adiós, luz del sol caliente, adiós, adiós.
My shadow in loam, now undirts for the city's
Spectres of tax that hover in pavement
For a decade of dreaming the barber pole's
Trick : movement without displacement.

Whoah, hol up guys

Y'all do realize this isn't a project meant to collect your general poetry, right? For all you guys typing up your sincere efforts (regardless of their merit), this is more about creating a spoof of Rupi Kaur's style, rather than some of other things you guys have been typing up

>>8920190
This is genius. Can /lit/ do it?

>>8920863
I think we need to curate the most believable ones, create some images of them, then post them in this thread for approval. If the general consensus is good, we start posting them on fake social media accounts. Instagram will probably be our best bet.

>>8920876

>>8920902
Shit, re-reading through some of these I can tell we're going to have a problem with some of these being too good. We don't want to attribute anything of actual quality to her.

>>8920930

Isn't that the idea? Dilute the teeming mass?

We could always just attribute them to "Rupi Kau" as opposed to "Rupi Kaur"

>>8920930
We'd be proving the point that she's a talentless hack

>>8920984

This. And besides, the effects of the best satire are felt not by the actual text itself, which in lesser satires strive to be as impressive as possible, but as with the best, are silent and subtle, yet soon drive the intended targets into a frenzy

The key point is we don't need to attack her work directly -- simply subvert it by tying inferior work to her name/brand.

Disseminate widely enough and social media will take care of the rest.

She can refute the entire collection but will be hard pressed to disown the volume of individual misattributions across multiple platforms.

Got it. Thought we were doing more along the lines of this >>8921019

But I like the other way of approaching it better.

>>8920942
Trying to figure out which would be more detrimental to her work. If we use her actual name, it attributes a bunch of work to her that isn't hers but seems like it could be, thereby showcasing the her hackneyed style. If we use something like Rupi Kau, though, the satire and point as a whole is much more obvious to normies. Hopefully.

Ideally we'd start by disseminating the more subtle ones, and over time we'd release the progressively dumber ones. letting it unfold organically.

Sort of how the book was originally supposed to unfold, except in real time and space.

It seems like the best way to do it given our anonymity.

>>8920863
copy and paste the images on your phone a couple of times to get that over shared meme 'patina'.

Reading the current copy now -- it's looking pretty good.

Why not execute a pincer movement?

1. Send out a legitimate press release for the entire collection. Post it somewhere legitimate...maybe a free website à la crèmeetsugar.com...

2. Release the single poems on social media...

>>8921061
No -- you have to use her name. Its only effective that way. Don't screw this up we're counting on you...may the force be with you.

Idk anon. Do you want to be among the driving force of post-truth?

Do note that it's the current year.

>>8921081
List of subtle ones that could work as initial releases:

Hunger - Page 57
Wind in the Willows - Page 55
Wives - Page 45
Violently - Page 44
The Infinite Jest masterpiece on Page 40. Probably not really all that subtle but I love it.
Speak and Listen - Page 39
To All My Grown Women (needs a believable title) - Page 32
Literally Shaking (might work with a believable title, I fucking love this one) - Page 31
Humble Desires - Page 27
Hopeless Burden - Page 26
Wisdom At Youth and Snow Angel - Page 25
Breathe - Page 19
It Never Ends - Page 15
Truth - Page 13
Carry Me Home - Page 11
Facade - Page 10
Hurricane - Page 8 (this one is fucking excellent and is the most likely the pass for one of hers.)
Perspective - Page 6
Bliss - Page 5
Sun - Page 4
Falsehood - Page 3

Also, Creme et Sugar #2 on Page 12 is great and needs to be one of the last ones we release. A punchline, if you will.

>>8921097

We're using her name

>>8921132
Jesus christ it's already happening. Is this one real or one of ours?

>>8921142
I just posted that one anon.

My lack of discernible talent is finally paying off.

>>8921086

While cunning, the more I think of it, trying to release a whole "book" would immediately be blown off since it isn't being officially announced on her twitter/insta/facebook etc.

The best, perhaps the only way is the trickle effect

>>8921156
Yeah for sure. She's an "instapoet." The best and most believable way to reach her audience is through Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.

>>8920062
> small girl
> for them

my favorite!

>>8921166
This one can't be real, but it looks like her art. Please tell me it isn't true.

>>8921137

While I agree with you that we should focus on some over others, and that certain titles are to be changed, I think for quite a few of the ones that you deem too unsubtle, whats actually going on is the obviousness of our ploy compounded with the weight of internal joke and reference. What seems obvious to us won't to the casual observer

nice gets

It's an Elliot Rodgers shop

I was going to use it to illustrate the point about using jpg compression to hide poor quality shops and make it seem like the images have already been circulating for a while

>>8921177
Art was taken from some other actual Rupi Kaur poem anon.

Also, I think there's something innately wrong in my previous statement.

Also we should post one of the fakes along with two or three real ones and wait for the retweets.

i am a poet now

>>8921183
It would nice if there was also some way to understand what's /lit approved and what's not... so as to track our little guppies progress in the great black unknown.

>>8921392

This is an issue. Any ideas?

Here's the thread where I've dumped a lot of the cutouts of the poems

OP -- recommend these all get uploaded to an img server so we can link to them...something legit to help them along.
