Ode to Postmates

Postmates

Disguised as luxury

Exploiting dreamers

With cars and bills to pay

You saved me

From hunger

From isolation

I treasure our transactions

With your $30 cheeseburger

You kept hope alive

With glimpses of

Real time humanity

You never expected me

I opened my door

And scared you

With the reminder of

The stages of life

An unexpected niceness

From me, a less than human

In the brief flash of your eyes

I bore witness to your

Social articulation of

How to respectfully interact

With a very confusing entity

An honest look is not offensive

I am an LOL surprise doll

You took it in

Placing my $30 cheeseburger

Where you

Asked Me

I would like it

Temporarily freeing me of

Manipulative commentary

Or a joke about my needs

The kindest of you

Were darker in skin tone

Than I

Homegrown Angelinos

American Pinocchios

International dreamers

Some didn’t speak English

It didn’t stop you from kindness

Humanity by delivery

Just a glimpse is

What carried me through

The darkest days

Was it sincere?

Yes. I believed it was.

Decency was shown

Alone in my room

I could think of that moment

Humans exist

I am a human being

And there’s nothing wrong with that

Oh Postmates

Bringing bottles

Eugene O’Neil independence

Using it to water my

Garden of toxic associates

Each one more eager

To enable my coping mechanism

Passing judgment

Staying silent

Hiding behind politeness

You wouldn’t want to infantilize me

Right?

Your words, not mine

I’m lucky to be in

your master Aura

Aura Boremyassoff

I do try

But I cannot compare

The kind glimpse or

The Human interaction

Of my mate of post

With any of you Rhinos

Thousands of dollars

On cheeseburgers

I survived on

Whilst you

Re-narrated in real time

My life of privilege

Care taker

You took

My care

My time

My money

My identity

My catastrophic story

Name dropper

My name

We are morally different

We are artistically different

I’m 8 mile

You only had one shot

Spaghetti

Get back to your trailer

Hold off on creation

Your humanity isn’t ready

Go back in the oven

Bake off

And serve your shit

To another

Trying to be smarter

Then the average Hannibal

Is rude

Be like Postmates

art IS dead

That is the proper emphasis. That is what we all want, right? No? You do not want to be a part of art? You do not want to be a part of politics? I’m sorry my darling, your wants have nothing to do with reality. Guess what? When you don’t actively involve yourself during bad times, you look like the asshole in a photo in the back who did not know they were in a photo. Not a photo. Disposable. Not the subject of a photo. Just a confused lost nobody. With no direction. If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. The city of Angels. Who are the Angels? Do you listen to them? Do you speak to them? Are you listening to current commentary that says you must find someone who looks exactly like you to relate to them? Darling, I feel sad for you.

I learned that I get to do whatever the fuck I want to do when I saw Bugs Bunny. I consumed Bugs Bunny. I became bugs bunny. I am Bugs Bunny. It is a part of me. I know something terrible will happen and I can either talk my way out of it, ski my way out of it, or be a pretty gal and distract with my gorgeousness.

Then I saw a Maxwell Smart on the reruns of get smart. I said, yes. Thank you. That is exactly who I am thank you. And I then proceeded to be Maxwell Smart in my play time. I would imagine my beautiful 1960s apartments and I would want to make it as gorgeous as I possibly could for Barbara Feldon. I didn’t want to be Barbara Feldon. I wanted to be Maxwell Smart.

A stray cat showed up in our backyard, he was frisky & he played with me I felt a deep connection with this cat. And so I named him Max. Unfortunately, he was removed from our household for attempting to eat my sisters parakeet, Joe Friday.

Around this time, I saw funny girl and I said yes. That’s it. That’s me. That’s what I want. It’s done.

And on and on and on it goes. Everyone I see, I can soon. It becomes a part of me. Becomes a part of my internal tapestry. I won’t forget things I see you because of personal narratives. I’m a goddamn adult. I did not grow up on Barney or Mary Kate nor Ashley.

You better get comfortable with monsters. You better get comfortable with the art of monsters. Because you’re gonna learn a lot about humans, humanity, and how to conduct your life to avoid being on the receiving end of monstrous behavior.

I know. It’s hard. I would like to spend the rest of my life thinking that there is always good in one’s heart. And then I remember who said that and how many productions have been made off of that story. Anne Frank survived in the attic with pictures of Hollywood stars posted up. I do everything with her in mind. I do everything with respect to all figures. I learned from them. The monsters. The sacrifices. Everyone.

Do not get comfortable in the city of Angels. If you do, best of luck to you.

#thelittlemermaid #fayereynolds btw if I hear another baby associating the lyrics of Howard Ashman with toxic masculinity... keep Howard’s NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. Educate yourself on the last 100 years of entertainment. YouTube has made it very easy. Get back to me. Damn, if you’re troubled by 1989’s Little Mermaid biiiiishhh. Don’t read the original. You couldn’t handle it. It’s very tragic. Anderson was inspired by his forbidden gay love to write the original. Watch the ballet, baby. Grow up.

Start idolizing the the creator of the Disney you know. Howard came in and brought the GAY MAGIC. He died of AIDS. It happened during beauty in the beast. It was very tragic. I remember that year. It was very sad. I thought people would remember.

What goes through your mind when you like art? Do you think a human created it from nothing? Whenever I like something, I want to know who is the person behind it and what your story is.

So many of you are out there acting like tiny creative trumps. You think that art is supposed to work like pornography. It doesn’t. We can’t fake it. It comes from our soul.

You have been trained to only look for new things. Guess what, baby? When you look into the near past you’re going to see all of the subjects that are being sold and advertise to you as “new“ and “woke“ have been here. Rod Serling didn’t create what he created out of nothing. Look up his background.

Invasion of the 20th Century Entertainment Memory Snatchers

I have paid thousands of dollars on tragic stories inspired by industry abuse protocols established by Darryl F Zanuck.

Zanuck was 23 when he started at box. He ran the studio for 50 years.

FOX has been real bad...

The stories I have consumed and learned from were created by or shared by artists (or surviving friends/associates) who were on the receiving end of abuse.

In film. TV. Music. Plays. Books. When famous people are abused, their stories do get out. Stop acting like you have not seen this and you do not know about the dirty side of Hollywood.

One thing I know about famous people is this: fmous women & famous men rarely cannot stop talking about their personal narrative. From womb to tomb. Scandals. Coverups. Everything that happened to that.bWhy is everyone acting like there isn’t an industry based off of the inevitable tragedy of committing oneself to the romanticized Hollywood lifestyle?

I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars consuming and learning from tragic stories shared (or revealed) by all artists. My family treasures information and entertainment, so I have been awake since 1988.

Brokaw every night. Jeopardy. Cheers. Seinfeld. Simpsons. Old music. New music. My parents are old and white and grew up in Miami, Florida. During the Cuban missile crisis & segregation.

My parents talk to me and my sister about those experiences and how awful they were. What scary times they were. How confusing it was to be a child seeing adults that were a different tone forced to adhere to degrading laws that were clearly wrong. I’m sorry your parents chose not to discuss things about their lives. People have many reasons for keeping secrets. My parents never liked what they saw happening to their fellow Americans & the Seminole Nation.

We used to laugh as the family about the days of “duck and cover”. My dad remembers thinking (at 10) that hiding under a desk probably wasn’t going to help if we were bombed. My mother would run home every day and play nuclear fallout shelter with her friend Elaine.

I got a lot of Hollywood scandal information for free. At the damn library in Palm Beach County, directly across from President Blondie’s international west palm beach golf course. The one right next to the prison and airport.

I started reading books in the library about Hollywood, Broadway, Music, Art folklore when I was 8 & I got ahold of a Barbra biography that I’m sure Babs hated.

I am from the most clowned on state in the Union. It took me 12 years to get a two year associates degree from a Florida college. In English. I’m not a genius. Although, I did have a psychologist tell me during my IQ test if it weren’t for math, I’d be a genius. I chose to take that as a compliment.

Everyone seems to be very unsure about their position as a star. The last 100 years of show business information is very important for all artist to learn about.

Hollywood has a documented history of using artists for their own propaganda. Propaganda for making their studios look good or to influence politics. It can be good: WWII. It can be bad: House of un-American activities/ Hollywood 10.

I have spent a lot of money on Marilyn Monroe. Her image. Marilyn Monroe’s estate probably has more money from me than any other entity over my lifetime. I studied everything about this woman. Everything. Frankly, she would be

livid by these Instagram posts reimagining Marilyn’s narrative has one where she was a beauty accepted by other women and treasured by men.

The Marilyn Monroe I know would not want you to focus on your beauty. She spent her entire life fighting off the advances of monsters who exploited the beauty she took years to create. She was terrorized by the most monstrous of all Hollywood Mogul Darryl F Zanuck her whole career. You wonder where Harvey GOT that shit from? Look at Darryl. He was in charge of 20th Century Fox for five decades. He bought a prostitute for his 14-year-old son birthday. He had this bizarre obsession with Tyrone Powers.

Marilyn Monroe created the beauty you see. Her hard work and her listening to ridiculous notes is what created that beautiful face. Her mastery of her ability to find the perfect light and hold her body in iconic ways came from studio & personal training. She didn’t just waltz out of bed confused every day and not aware she was beautiful. Oh she knewwwww.

She knew she was beautiful. She knew the pain her face and her body went through to maintain those standards. This was a time where women were celebrated in a special way? They included measurements of actresses in every article during that time.

Marilyn underwent painful electrolysis, a nose job, a chin implant. And bleaching your hair back then was not fun baby.

I’m disgusted with the whole “Be a Marilyn and not at Kim” meme. That is confusing. No matter what anybody’s personal opinion of either women is, Kim Kardashian West has the ability and agency to do whatever the hell she wants. Marilyn Monroe never had that.

Marilyn would not want you to remember her looks. And she would really like for you to stop obsessing about her and JFK. She would ask you to re-focus that energy into researching JFK and Gene Tierny. Their romance was far more romantic & dramatic.

She would want you to remember her well documented horror stories with Darryl.

She would want you to remember when she said fuck you to Hollywood, went to New York, got to hang out with everyone she ever wanted to hang out with, formed her own independent film studio.

She would want you to remember her standing next to her husband Arthur Miller at the house of un-American activities committee. No one supported her then. They thought she was an idiot for doing so.

While many are focusing on reimagining this fantasy of Marilyn Monroe’s natural beauty, I remember I know what Marilyn would want. She would want you to lead a happy life. In whatever field you want. And that you have agency over your work.

Do you want to see the saddest place on earth? Go and visit her grave. See the hordes of people taking happy selfies next to the body of this the greatest movie star ever known to mankind. Westwood is a beautiful cemetery with many stars who clearly died with funeral plans in order.

Marilyn was simply exhausted by playing so many different roles in her life. She was the greatest actress ever. She had the ability to make anyone who was in a room with her feel like they were the most important person. When you know that skill, you know that skill.

She turned on Marilyn whenever she had to. But that was a personality that had no agency for herself. Whose survival depended on playing dumb while being very smart. No one didn’t like her. People can say she did it better or worse. No one will ever do it like it her.

Marilyn Monroe was the most beautiful American creation. Based on lies and a false narrative.

Listen to the final interview of Marilyn Monroe. You have yet to see her portrayed like that in any film. Smart and over it. And ready to share her true story. She rarely shared that side with anybody. The male commentary is a real gas. Filled with victim blaming.

Marilyn Monroe did not die alone out here for you to remember & renarrate her studio sanctioned, & talent at achieving/freezing in a state of unnatural physical beauty.

Marilyn weighed 118lbs when she died, baby. She did a whole photo shoot with Bert Stern flaunting her new “fabulous” figure. The press was not kind to her. The press fat shamed (during some like it hot) her while she was pregnant with Arthur Miller, after she had a miscarriage, during the filming of and release of Let’s Make Love. Countless times. I have a book of every magazine covers she was ever on. They were not nice to her.

Fat shaming is not a new concept to the entertainment industry. It is always been done. It’s been done on everybody. Jane Fonda has documented to her lifelong struggle with body image issues. Barbarella, baby.

Marilyn’s story is famous, but it is not original. If you ever watched E!’s Mysteries & Scandals it’s the same story. The tactics monstrous man have used go back directly to Darryl F Zanuck. He started when he was 23.

Bill Cosby has nothing on Darryl Fucking Zanuck. The fucked up sexual protocols and studio control of human lives was because of Darryl.

Darryl Fucking Zanuck destroyed so many careers and lives, follow his associations.

But that doesn’t mean that I want to destroy work Darryl F Zanuck touched. To do so is abhorrent and disrespectful to culture and history.

I want everyone to know that’s where it started. Everyone needs to stop this faux shock about how dirty my industry is. If you have seen who framed Roger rabbit, it’s all there.

Stars have power. Shine your light for truth. Acknowledge humanity and perseverance.

Blessed Cardi B,

Faye
