the American Bandstand of poetry.
But worse
at least those kids
had to stand there
for all America to see
and give a reason
no matter how inane,
“I give it an eighty-three;
it’s got a good beat, you can dance to it”
Here they just
pop in
and click.
Cyber-cowards
Pseudo-critics
Not even the courtesy
of
a reach around,
“I give it a six, Dick, it rhymes”
