“Honestly, I’m Not a Fan of Your Poetry”

I will admit it.

I cannot write poetry

to save my life—

but surely one must try

to save one's life?

If someone attacks you with

an axe, you raise

your arms to your face

even if

that's a stupid thing to do.

We do it because we are animals.

These lines are the veins of my hands.

I cover my head with them

even if

that's a stupid thing to do

because in any case

I am hacked to pieces.
