On my Raft of Silly Art

[billy]

I much prefer reading and making poems
than dealing with that bastard prose, good opening
that ugly autistic child
who never grasps a word I say,
demands all my patience
but is rarely grateful,
the one I must feed from a tiny glass pot,
again and again, until my arm
has repetitive stress disorder. excellent first verse

Poems, however, are smart and willing.
Poems are the boy I liked at sixteen, brilliant line
inside whose mouth I could place any line,
such as: 'Fuck me, Jack, fuck me like a woman',
and: 'None of my girlfriends are as good as you'.
Even though it wasn't true, would a ; be better here than a ,
that to him in real life I was less than a blip, for me a period would break it up a little here
somehow it hardly mattered,
because the moment of self-deception
was for the duration reality to me. does it need a , after duration?
And this, I think, is what high school and poems
are all about. great ending

i really enjoyed this, you put two great images forward that juxtaposed poetry and prose perfectly. some great original lines, the flow worked well except for the line with duration in it (for me) and it has your persona within it.
for me it very publishable. witty and robust.
well worth the read, thanks
