a point arose about this is not poetry

[leesharks]

shem--it's no surprise to me that your views are characterized by the kind of deleterious, if subtle, dead horse racism so prevalent in the literary-aesthetic-industrial bloc of our times.

I am both sickened and elated by the manifesto-like vitriol of your stuckist/post-stuckist dog turdism.

You make me want to smash myself in the face with gasoline and set my hair on fire.

You make me want to run through the aisles and jump over the seats to stand inside your personal space and get up in your quote unquote your grill

And aggressively take this container of tic tacs and smash it on my forehead and crush each tic tac individually into my eyeballs and ask you if you like my poem

And if you like my poem, then eat my poem

And then we will have a long and rewarding lifelong friendship despite our differences in political and religious quote unquote our worldviews

And I will name my poem, "BFFs."
