AKA Poets (Free verse) by Skamper

I turn pages blanking so tired a little angry with you/myself words - wrapped in new fangled type-set offend me catagory - Poetry the temerity of minds whirring through rolladex’s with pens attached scribbling frantically staring at the wall for inspiration dry me My nose bleeds from inhaling your plucked idealism you call cleverness he called it imagination before that it was revolutionary Go away NO – wait - I will leave for if you even twitch in a backward direction the fool behind will shuffle forward in passing off himself as fresh and - deodorized thoughts reeking - transfer osmetically between shallow smiles and vapourous wit another gormless nodding inked dribbler oozing boredom chinways dropping ideas fumbled from your fingers to his we need no introduction we're generically related

my original reference was to the introduction written by Collins in the 2006 edition of "The best American poetry" He's somewhat scathing while he talks about how many small publishers there are and how much "bad" poetry could get out. I kind of agree, but only as far as my own personality will allow. He kind of goes back on himself in the end of the intro, though. Ha! so much going on, we poets don't know which way to turn sometimes.
