and he starts talking
again and he says
i like your story
i really do and i think
you should know i'm kind of partial to poetry--
and i say to myself
shit you're a poet
it's a wonder you
ain't jumped off no bridge
but i say to him
fine no problem
i'll do it
and inside i feel
like a fucking yuppie
and i give him a copy of my poems and he goes
through it and he says yes i like this one
and no i don't like
this one and yes and no and yes
and i get this feeling
i just molded myself a career
or something and i think to myself
i don't like this
poetry shit
i ain't no fucking poet.
