Why Poetry Fails

It seems the only people who read it

are the people who write it.

And the people who write it

don't buy it, they're trying to sell it.


Poetry is like a theater,

a theater with a long, stalled line to enter—

but the line is at the back door,

no one is at the front door.


No tickets are sold; seats remain empty.

The performers are all very hungry.

Still, the line grows longer and longer.

The show goes on...


Of course, I'm only a street performer:

agony's part of the act.
