(Un) real (ity) Poe (try) ? by Azriel Johnson

Spoken word poetry are songs

Disguised by words.

Written word poetry are songs

Disguised by silence.

Every boy who writes poetry

Wants to be Morrison,

Or Cobain,

Or Shakespeare, or Poe.

I've never been one

To explain myself,

But I hate to be

Misunderstood.

I'm trying to break,

To leave myself bloodied, bruised,

Cruelly abused

Destroyed.

What is your idea of Real poetry?

----->Is it lines that do this?

-----------> Or must they go, ----------------------------------> Farther?

 Fuck you, I won't do it.

Style style style style.

I'm terrified of form,

Form of any kind.

The only Real poetry,

Is poetry someone else likes.

Identifies with

And remembers.

I would have had a better life,

Being 23 in 1966.

Maybe I could have

Made the world better.

Unreal Reality is unity

Disguised by the real.

Lose focus and gain the flow,

Intend and ye shall receive.
