A Malevolent Universe

You are unevolved – start reading Shakespeare,
William Blake, Alexander Pope; poetry is not self-
exposure, your revelations are boring to connoisseurs,
your gushing effusions are just an example of trilling
Vogon trash, what sacrilege, a bad example to all
fledgling poets, read Shelley and Keats

Learn from Milton and Wordsworth, your own puny
limericks are worthless, you do not measure up, you
are a disappointment – we cannot read your lines
without going numb in shock about the way you
misuse words without respect for the ancient art
honoured by craftsmen, no mastery of the art

Start a study course, realize how little you know, how
childish you sound, writing for fun is nonsensical – be
serious for once, like the custodians of the ancient
classics, stop running everywhere like a barbarian
and start sayingyour tables – did you not know that
Lewis Carrol was a mathematician

Alice in Wonderland has to master Reeling and Writhing
and Falling Down in Coils conquering arithmetic, please
note, poetry is not self-expression, it is crafting in a most
calculated way – Oh dear, thought Alice, calculus again
and I thought Excel had solved all my problems, yet here
again a Shakespearian fate in a malevolent universe

Taking Ayn Rand by the hand, Alice turned and
walked away…
