1| It takes more balls to stand by a poem.
I’ll stand by fiction. Fiction has its name.

Poetry is a mixed bag
of whatever the fuck is on your mind.

2| There’s nothing more transparent than poetry.

A poet will dispute a meaning to their grave.
I see this, all the time.

Elderly people,
Not that they’re dying.
Just chalk that up to Florida.

3| Like a painting.
A lot of things mix to get the tone.

Humans tell me tonight It’s all good.

This pleases me. Obviously.

4| Poetry pours
from the organ and the orifice-
Either way what spills is real.

Unless you’re, some liar or something.

Poetry is a mixed bag
of whatever the fuck is on your mind.

Even in deliberate lenses,
shit in the bag is mixing around
and pours over everything.
Poetry is objective ish like that.
