Maybe it isn't poetry, but then I don't liking making judgements about what poetry is and what it should deal with. Poetry can do anything. Even rhythm isn't always required. Anything can be fashioned into poetry, and the point is to use discourses that are all around us and turn them into art - just as some people utilise working class language or slang, I'm trying to use the language of the media, the dominant discourse in modern western life, and make something out of it. Perhaps it doesn't work, but I think it is an idea worth pursuing.
