    I met this poet
    at school
    he was honest

    “fuck you,” he said
    “your poetry sucks”

    “okay,” I said

    this was after I told him
    how he might make a couple
    of his stanzas better

    I met another poet
    over drinks
    after a poetry reading
    he was interested
    in fucking me

    “editors suck,”
    he told me
    “most of them can’t write
    they exist
    to piss us off”

    “it’s true,” I said
    “we should publish
    ourselves
    but would that make us editors,
    too?”

    “hmm,” he said
    “wanna go back
    to my place?”

    “I’d like to,” I said,
    “but your poetry
    sucks”
