[ On Poetry ] The reason why I can't get into your poetry

is not by any architectural design    
of mine or other out-of-towners        
curious about your self service cafes      
and dramatic threatrical stagings      
         
but rather its Mayor's withholding      
of the Key to Centri City      
       
Tis an uninviting metropolis      
populated with You-you-you        
attractions erected upon        
a Me-me-me theme      
offering nothing  
bold, exciting, new      
for the average visitor . . .      
       
Truth is, we've been there        
done that --- same shit      
different day in the diary      
of a terminally ill poet      
tilting away at windmills      
within an Ivory Tower's marrow      
high above everyone else;      
       
a locked away poor Penelope      
Rapunzel who can never be bothered      
to let down a single lock of hair
