sharp-tender-shock-deactivated: [screenshot of a comment] His wife has filled his house with chintz. To keep it real | fuck him on the floor. This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it's also kind of an amazing two-line ‘poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. /And then “to keep it real | fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it's still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jibang8
