I am a poet
I work in a bookshop
sounds like bliss
a pig in shit
yes and no
the beancounters measure value
by sales per square metre
poetry suffers
quality suffers
I argue
and argue
they punish
less hours
less poetry
I spit in the face
of any advocacy
of corporatism

I just don’t know what it is but it is half good and have questionable. Not one of my favorite works.
It's not a good poem
Just had a bad day at work. The first two lines and the last three are the only important ones.

ok, good
lith, now try to describe WHAT you didn’t enjoy about the poem and why.
Revolt revolt
Any resistance to the stultifying and life-destroying death culture of corporate America is welcomed—and it should be particularly welcomed in the realm of poetry, which after all has a rich heritage of revolt. Fight on!
Relevant.....I think Not!
I WANT TO WORK IN A BOOKSHOP. SO very ENVIOUS!
ok then
mostly 3 word lined poems aren’t my types. It’s scattered, but appreciative and jess was right about the good parts everything else was like a puzzle not put together right. No effense jess. I should the know best of all that they all can’t be diamonds. but sometimes cubic zirconium or cheap plastic
No offense taken
At another time if you like I could explain some of the figures of speech that seem to have confused you.
Well put about diamonds, cubic zirconium or cheap plastic
cheers,
Jess
You would do better
to own your own library - guardian of the works therein. I would suggest a bookstore, but I think part of you might die each time a book walked out the door.
