I hate poetry

I hate poetry
the way a junky hates the fix
he can’t afford
and will have to hustle for
and often enough
won’t even get a rush from,
just keep off the horrors
for another hour.
I hate poetry
the way a married couple
who don’t believe in divorce
hate each other.
I hate poetry
the way Alcoholics Anonymous
hates liquor
and has meetings about it.
I hate poetry
the way and atheist hates God
and shakes his fist
at the empty hole in the sky.
And the more poetry I hear
the more I hate t
and the more I write it.
Here I am.

Julia Vinograd (USA)
