I am tired of:

— poets who self-promote endlessly in a really ego driven way
— vicious posts to e-mail lists that end with “one love”
— people who believe winning a slam = being a good poet overall
— ridiculous claims as to personal popularity
— my own envy at those who succeed through such petty crap

— in fact, I’m just tired of trying to be myself in a scene that seems to thrive on masks
