New poem on Avril Lavigne song HELLO KITTY.

Avril Lavigne sings Hello Kitty
somewhere in Tokyo
(I know it's Tokyo
since the city still has Tower Records)
with young Japanese women
as her chorus line
>
Avril kicks the air,
chopping away the years
since she's been a real teenager
like redwood trees in a forest,
counting backwards from 29 to 16
with every dance step
>
and you can almost see her thoughts
like those animated white word balloons
in the old VH-1 POP-UP VIDEOS show
gotta stay relevant
gotta get ahead of Miley
gotta new single that sounds like Kpop
gotta be edgyedgyedgy
>
certainly, she's gotta be viral
and obviously, she is
since I'm writing this bystander poem
about her new single Hello Kitty
the way I once wrote a poem
about Miley's Wrecking Ball

Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball" and Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U"

Here's the prop-and-nudity-free alternate version of Miley Cyrus  "Wrecking Ball:

And here's the Sinead O'Connot video it was influenced by:

Miley and Justin and Jimmy and the 2013 VMAs.

In essence, nothing is ever new vis a vis the smelling salts/outcry of Offended Elders over Miley Cyrus at last night's VMAs being similar to Britney Spears at the same ceremony thirteen years earlier:

No comment except to say that this kind of cultural conservative "you must be a nonsinning role model 24/7/365" hysteria will probably eclipse a recent TMZ scoop about Miley Cyrus and some of her posse pulling their eyelids back to enact the timeless dumb and demeaning stereotype of Asians: http://www.popeater.com/music/article/miley-adds-racist-gag-to-already-long/326727
