    not narcissistic enough?
    come to some fuckin secluded cabin in the woods
    with other lonely people
    trying to write poems
    sit there on your fat ass by candle light
    or some shit trying to pretend
    your Edgar Allan Poe
    without the demons
    see that’s just the problem
    you’re just not fucked up enough
    so you pay $1000
    to sit in a circle
    of people over too expensive red wine
    and critique a bunch of other poets’ shit
    using the word “deep” too much
    as if the world still had meaning

    killer poem, Daniel!

    "trying to pretend
