The Instagram poetry market is what knocks me around.
The women are in they 20s and have professional careers, and are everything a man like me could want.
Someone who's nice and sane and also writes poetry.
But their poetry is all straight prose about how sad and lonely that are, and how their exboyfriends don't understand them.
Of course, I want to give my thoughts on their poems, and be nice to them. But I can't.
They don't want any talk about poetry and they don't want anyone hitting on them.
For a while, I thought that I could simply not hit on them, and simply talk seriously about their poetry.
They don't want to talk about poetry, either.
One day, I'm going to get a job. And I'm going tell them that I have a job. And that's it. See if they still ignore me.
