My point here is that it's an excellent piece that for some reason does nothing for me. I cannot relate to these situations, so it can't tell me anything. You make no effort to court readers who have not been male hustlers, and this is pretentiousness in my opinion. There is nothing to bridge the gap between your fucked up life and my shiny, straightlaced dime-store wingtips. Thus, anyone who liked this poem who isn't a male hustler is liking it because the subject matter is novel, and because it is written well enough to believe that it really means something to someone somewhere.
