heard a few say
their best poems
were processed
by cheap wine
then pissed or puked
into the toilet
forever lost
some
bitch about
all the reviews they never receive
as if poetry is a well-defined
career path
academia mapped
& packaged
then there’s the fucking writer blocks
meticulous constructs
red badge of....
don’t say courage
obviously
more blocks
more walls
still needed
maimstreetmedia
funding grants
corporate jingles
never seduced
lorca
.....died for his poems
yet we complain
about oppression
seemingly
locked in position
on our knees
