What Becomes of a Poem

What becomes of a poem
       squeezed, wrung out
       to beat a deadline...
  
       Just like the poet
     ~ It's all washed-out

I don't know what happens to poetry. But I have an idea what will happen to mine. If anyone starts to read it They will only read the first line. After reading those few words They would have had enough, How could that looney old Poet Write such ridiculous stuff.
