DON’T TELL ME
DON’T TELL ME WHAT THE POETS ARE SAYING
John Ashbery says: There are no rewards in this world for
pissing your life away even if it means you get to see forgotten
icebergs He has won the Pulitzer studied at Harvard & Columbia
That is a bit like The Hip crooning: No one’s interested in something
you didn’t do And since such sentiments make mere mortals feel like
has beens you would all be better off gazing at the moon or contemplating
the Aztecs who prophesy that the world will end unbelievably soon
So Come Poet Shut Up
