i am not a
‘poet’
dan is a
poet always
wearing the same
green sweater
dan who hannah’s
mom thought was
******* because of
his poor eye
contact
dan who tells us he
likes his women with
hairy legs
dan whose poetry
writes about
beauty and
transcendence
and all that
****

in contrast to
me. i write only
to insult my
friends

yeah, that dan

i don’t want to be a
‘poet’
i don’t want to be like
him
