Fyre Festival Cheese Sandwich Breaks Silence in Three Haiku

By Emily Linstrom

I.
Sweet spring island breeze,
From the cafeteria
I dreamed of greatness.

II.
Seeking to nourish
FEMA-tented trustfund youth,
I was made meme meat.

III.
In the aftermath
the salad speaks of Netflix
and new beginnings.
