funny, i still hate most poetry

Wait, didn’t you just put out a whole book of gnostic poetry? Religion is really nothing else than poetry that people decided was so beautiful and meaningful that they decided to live according to it. It’s a bold and glorious decision to make I think…

funny, i still hate most poetry, but the stuff i *do* like comes from artist/poet combos like blake and patchen. for some reason the fact that they communicate both visually and ‘poetically’(??) makes both their poetry and artwork (and prose) that much more valuable and expressive, even when viewed/read/heard independently of one another.

So many people say they hate poetry now, that poetry is dead and irrelevant. But every invented subculture jargon, every marketing gimmick, every scientific term, itâ€™s all poetry. Some of it is quite beautiful.

I remember back when I was in high school or thereabouts… I hated ‘poetry.’

Now… not so much.

Its kinda funny. I was so tightly-wound as a youngster… now it seems I coming unbound.
