I like this, but I don't think it's any good. It makes some good points, but I don't remember any of them. I read it, and I was bored. Then I had to start drinking again, because whether I ever read this poem or not, I know things are hard. Things are hard, and you got it. You know it. And though I'm drunk, the poem is still no good. It doesn't have that music that makes being drunk a sensible thing to do. It doesn't do much at all.
When you say spectatorship is the new favorite pastime, you're right and wrong. Wrong because it's not new; right because it's a new kind of new.
I'm not drunk, I'm just drinking. Everything you say is right, and still it bores me.
The message is fine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But the poem is boring. The message is made boring by the poem. And that's fine if that's what people are into.
