ALL YOU CARE FOR IS your reputation
good poems never had a good reputation
you care about your publishing house being respectable
your cover looking serious, professors and critics liking what you write
On your way to being respectful you have lost all the light you had, my dear friend
and you don't see it, when I say this to you
you think I am jealous and I am
but not jealous of your success but of
the poems you may have written and you have not the booksÂ
you may have written and you won't, the books I would have read and I won't.
