women, those objects of objection
its a mind worth loving
it isn't breasts
it isn't legs
its their minds
can you have it all
and the scenesters
yuck
why would you need such an active social life to be happy
connections
rejections
if you do the rejecting its fine
I don't want a scenester
how can poets think they need some vast array of hello, seen blah blah?
to be ok
this obsession with cafe
being places
the cities
and reading out poems
I don't think its necessary at all
I don't like stages
I have been on them
everyone looking at you
what does that achieve
when I read a poem I want to hear it alone
I don't want some overly emotional poet screaming or crying his/her poem at me
get a poetry book
get a sylvia plath book
go to the park
take coffee
and enjoy
and I have met a woman that likes poetry
now that's something
but you don't need company to enjoy poems
you don't need to sign your book for people and answer little questions
in fact that takes away the beauty
most people don't like poems maybe
and most that write poems are terrible
maybe I am too
but women still take my glance at first
and so does a poem
