ok ok, nice detail, nice twisted humor with the introduction of the wife.. but i still think its a failed poet glorifying his shame that resulted in suicide lol..

and how the fuck does he accomplish making an impact?

i can imagine headlines:

"Crazy Poet Slices Stomach To End His Hunger."

that doesnt make an impact.. it makes parents scared when their child comes out of his/her room and says "i want to be a poet mommy and daddy!" in the morning right after they read the headline.

"Be a lawyer honey"

despite that, this poem deserves an 8 in my opinion, doesnt get a 9 because of the so called purpose of the poets bloody and painfull suicide.
