LIKEADEMIC
My boyfriends mother says that I say the word “like” a lot
That I am a part of an ongoing epidemic of “likers”
Even her student teacher she says is obsessed with “like”
I tell her it’s our internet generation
“like” a photo “like” a post I “like” you
she points out 5 times in 3 minutes that I say the word “like”
I wonder if I said the word “love” a lot how she would feel
If I put that extra step of emotion
If I tried a little bit harder to “love” something
Dedicate something to “liking” it a lot
Like in Annie Hall when Alvy says,
I don’t just Love you I “Lurve”
Even in Europe you don’t “love” your
Sandwich “like”
you “love” your lover
His mother says to me, well I can
Correct your grammar, we are
Close “like” that
I hope you understand
“like” we are family
