New Poetry by rob walker













a beginner’s guide to postmodernism



don’t say book poem or story

its all just text



don’t talk.

have a

discourse



you may still lecture

in the timehonored way

but call it a

conversation



in the end nothing matters anyway

everyone’s opinion is as good

as anyone else’s



the external world does not exist.



ignore it.

I mean "gratifying", of course. This cheap copy of a Mac computer doesn't spell very well..
