Be Nice to Me or I Will Write a Mean Poem about You
You better be nice to me
Or I will write a mean poem about you
And have it published in major literary magazines.
Don’t fuck with me.
I will call you a great big asshole in a poem,
So you better be nice to me.
I will make up things about you,
And the way I tell it, people will believe it

Mozart, Poe, and countless other geniuses used to pull drunken shit like this all the time
I wasn't going to go to the doctor about my knee. I mean, I MIGHT have, but I was thinking it was just a bit of party clumseyness, and I'm a fucking Wilderness First Responder, I know how to take care of a tendon. Rest, ice, compression, elevation. And ibuprofin.

I sat listening to the preacher on the plaza until he ended his preaching, and 5:24 or so, gathering the Christians and had a prayer.
The arguements were interesting. Often enough, the person trying to ( Read more... ) -

I haven't been drunk in seriously toooooooo long
I am trying to enter the creative writing scholarship competition and I'm also trying to start getting published and I am also trying to be a non-personal-essay-non-fiction writer and have a kickass story for about Somebody in the Real World.

I am so part of the poetry blogosphere. I totally read a blog.
FYI
Bob Dylan is not a poet.*
I'm willing to bet neither was Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, or even Vanessa Carlton, despite Teen People's authoritative graphic design. Hear that world? STOP PRETENDING THAT ANYONE CAN WRITE POETRY. STOP PRETENDING THAT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, YOUR SELF-EXPRESSION ISN'T CRAP. And for ( Read more... ) -
so then
I had a dream that I did meet Graham Foust, and he was a dumb little fourteen-year old with about as much knowledge of poetry as the neo-punks at the Alley Cat who sit around with lip-rings from Icing talking exhuberently about how Marxism is stupid and postmodernism is "so...so...so...man.

Graham Foust
Ron Silliman in Ron Silliman's blog mentions every so often that Graham Foust is a poet worthy of a high five.
Well I read Graham Foust's book or one of them because Sasha made me, and I figure Ron Silliman gets a high five for his class-A distribution of high ( Read more... )
