Ars poetica

The meteoric rise in the academic sanctioning of poets since the 1970s has made "ars poetica" one of the things never far from my mind.

Or, current resident

If Yo is the new Hey You,
then it shows America’s descent,
from a surly place to a place

Worse than surly, where people’s haste
makes them look like they lack good taste, too.
