April is definitely Poetry Month

I know this,
because I was
definitely wrong
a few years back,
when I declared it
for Putin, a month
early.

Technically, this one
belongs to Bush,
but we'll let him
lay low.

What to do with
Poetry Month? Now
would be a great time
to pretend you
care about poetry!

Now would be a great time
to dust off some of the
old classics, the schools,
the cliques and popular kids,
and once again forget why the
hell we care about poetry
in the first place.

Is it about the things
you can memorize, the names
you can rattle off,
or is it more the experience?

If it's the experience
for you, the sheer thrill
of a pulsating poem,
then you are probably
an idiot, because
that's not really what
we're going for.

We love poetry! We love
all the things we've always
loved, and the best way to
express it is to repeat it.

We love poetry! We love
all the things we've always
loved, and the best way to
express it is...

No, won't do that again.
