Fuck Poetry

Listen!

Enough of this poetry SHIT.
Who the fuck
ever
decided that dumb little lines
all fragmented
and s p a c e d out
in meaningful ways,
is an art form?
I, for one, am completely opposed to it all.
To long, skinny stanzas,
to supposedly beautiful comparisons,
to "new ways of seeing things."
Fuck it all.
Write some prose,
you
little
shit
stick.

With a hate more furious than all the Medeas of the world,
and with aspersions more weighty than all the dice cast
in sin city,
I spew vitriol into the leaden tomes of the supposed
Fore Fathers
of this great language
my tired lips
struggle to transmute.

You won't see me on street corners
reciting lines
of poetry
about
whatever the fuck
poetry likes to say.

bitch.
