Poetry does not have to be pretentious; it is only the “poetry scene” which has deteriorated into an abysmal paste of cynics, self-loathing whiners who have recently run out of scapegoats and of course; pretentious worms. So cheer up! Quality is interpretation.
most is, but i don't think it has to be. as long as it's honest.
There have been shows where maybe the whole first half of the show my eyes have been closed. and then you'll look out in the crowd and there'll be somebody totally lost in their head, in exactly the same place you're in. That, to me, is the essence of music
