Poets are one step away
from being completely insane.
Thats why I stay
as far away
as I can
from any of those
who don’t write standard academic prose.
Those creatures
who huddle over their tomes
and hold their hearts up to expose
themselves to the rest of humanity.
As if we actually cared
what one fuzzy haired
poet had to say
about a life care-free and gay!
Need I say more to prove my self?
A poet is useless off of the shelf!
Just lock up those pages in dust and time,
discard the unnecessary meter and rhyme.
Burn every tangible sign
of a poet and his troubled mind.
Because poets are one step away
from being completely insane.
And no matter how beautiful their words may be,
they have absolutely nothing to do with me.
Thou dost protest too much…
