the real problem with australian poetry

& then / you know what she says?

what the f*ck / seriously
this is what that crazy woman says
she says y’know the real problem
with australian poetry today is...

i mean / like she knows anything
about poetry / bt no bull / right
this is what she says
the problem with australian poetry today
is tht it is mostly read by
middle-aged-white-heterosexual
armchair lefty men

that is seriously what she said

& she didn’t even stop there
she said the problem with
australian poetry mostly being read
by middle-aged-white-heterosexual
armchair lefty men
is tht they only want to read poetry written
by middle-aged-white-heterosexual
lefty men / who are occasionally
adventurous enough
to leave their bloody chair

i know
what the f*ck?
she wz pretty drunk / bt still
i mean / no wonder
they don’t publish
people like her

  1. i'm a middle-aged-white-hetrosexual lefty man
    (who used to write poetry, breathing as noah)
    but i get upz outta my chair
    every second i get the chance
