Who Has Time For Poetry

you have to watch American Idol

you have to watch some ****

you have to pay taxes that make weapons and go

to who knows what dictator and what madman

you have to go punch your wife in the face

you have to get drunk

you have to hire this prostitute

So who has time for poetry?
