Bob Dylan Nobel Prize & Johnny Cash in The New Yorker

[Achebe]

Thanks. I'm a shit writer, of course, but I hope I'll never have to write drivel such as the excerpt below. If the above is what you think is great poetry, then I rest my case.
Wait...I'm now getting the feeling that you're having me on. If so, then it's masterful. If not, then...well, let's just say that Dylan should refuse the Nobel and save the world some embarrassment 

Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
