Poetry is
like therapy for me
I use it
to sort through
all my neuroses
I know I could
go to a therapist
but what would that solve?
It would cost me
a couple hundred bucks
per hour per week
for a couple years
and after a couple years
I’d be more screwed up
than before
so this way
with poetry
I’ll still end up
more screwed up than ever
but at least
I’ll save a shitload of money

Call Some Hotline
It's free and you can talk sort neuroses out. Or call magazine companies and mess with them about what magazine you would rather have that they don't offer and mess with their neuroses. Then write a poem about it. Voila! Same outcome. :)
I did call some hotline and
I did call some hotline and the lady wanted me to bark like a dog. I did feel better afterwards so I guess it works.
