you see, you feel

poetry can not exist in this day and age
     without sick beats, base drops, guns and hoes
because Diddy is master and Ginsberg is obscene
               (again)

                                       it's about the sound bytes
                                       the marketing
                                                 selling style n tude
     it's about the clothing
                          the instagrams
                                 how brandable is the name
you have 15 seconds to sell, sell, sell (out)
      oh, yeah, and speak yr (never)mind

     It's the International Poetry Road Show
and viewers tune in to watch the commercials
     Billy Collins is on stage and
          #OMG     #whiteboycan'trap
     #poseur       #fail
