How To Write Like Largo

[Achebe]

Ronsaik - I am curious what sections you feel qualify as “teenage angst” and/or “pop new age.” I wrote plenty of both in my formative years and had thought I’d rather moved beyond it. I suspect what’s throwing you off is the fact that the poem’s written in 2nd person and doesn’t describe a scene, or really have images of any kind, and it’s kind of stream-of-consciousness and there’s no punctuation. I also suspect that you missed the sarcasm, the piece isn’t intended to be quite tongue-in-cheek but its not exactly sincere either. 

Jacob - since you intended the poem as an inside joke, my comment is no longer relevant.
From what you said about Largo the rock climber there's enough raw material for a funny, ironic poem.  Not coming through in this one though.
