Analyzing Poetry

It always irritated me to no end
when in an English class
they give you a ten line poem,
but ask for ten pages
explaining what it meant;
Oh! His italics meant this
Her-use-of-hyphens-meant-that
They chose this word because...
FUCK! THAT!
If half the poets in the world
were a quarter as smart
as you analyzed them to be
there'd be half as many poets!
Poets write because we have to:
like pissing or shitting
we take in the world around
and expel it onto pages-
and if you think you can
drink my piss or eat my shit
and tell me what I'm thinking
then you shouldn't be reading poetry...
(If you fnid yourself
eating or drinking my excrement:
my piss speaks of alcoholism
and my shit says "go fuck yourself")
