Poetry and Social Media

Ick gets the clicks. Sad but true. Like that moron going on the other day about the "virtue" of cliche, for so many writers it's easier to be predictable, toss off an aphorism or two and add a canva background to make it look vaguely interesting. Gods forbid anyone actually expected a person to read more than once.

If you can't put it on a poster, don't bother.

I bother. But words aren't instagrammable and the world is so full of surface chatter that anything vaguely complicated has no chance of being heard. The morons are super good at shouting.
