Anxiety Hangover
#6
I know we're all connected, and that complicates matters. Just today, for instance: I was upset because the girl I was, is are am, in love with was at the bar where my local writers' group meets. I was all upset and they could tell. She left with some college professor guy, the kind of guy she's always with. And they said Why are you so insecure, why do you have no confidence? And I said Nobody has or ever will write a better poem about this woman than I have, and I've written several. . . . I'm jealous because they have the girl I love, and I don't. But soon these college professors will be teaching the stuff I write: So take your insecurity and nonconfidence shit and shove it back up your asses. And let me go off and die my lonely, pathetic life alone.

And, by the way, I wasn't using irony when I said I've written the best poems about this woman that's ever been written. I have. Everybody else is too busy dating her. But still. Who the fuck's going to remember who she's dating? . . Her kids?

And I wasn't using irony when I said I've written the best poems about her that's ever been written. But, then again, that's really not saying much. God damn, bullshit college professors, and their credibility. . . . You know where autodidacts went to school? you guessed it, The wrong school.
