why i dont write poetry

What does it mean to be called a poet?
Nothing. It's an empty term we use
to describe anyone who writes a poem.
And anyone can write a fucking poem.

oh, and what's not considered poetry?!?
ee cummings? william carlos williams?
if jibberish is considered genius,
I'll crap on canvas and call it Renoir.

Poetry takes one hell of an ego.
your thoughts are really so profound
that they need to be put into stanzas?
That they deserve titles and performance?

Poets of the world:
Get the fuck over it.
