and i hate that fucking bench you sit on
smoking your pink and pretty cigarettes.
you think you can read yeats and copy
his poems with different cliches.  everything
has to have a god damned meaning behind
it but in reality, sometimes life means nothing.
you're just afraid of wasting your what-you-think
precious time but all that weed you smoke
isn't you writing a god damned stanza.
you're not a reincarnate of kerouac just because
you smoke cigarettes and own a vintage typewriter.
change the fucking tape for once and get a grip --
you're just another college freshman cliche who
can't get laid without writing a poem about the bitch.
i don't usually write this way but i liked how this came out.

i like your writing a lot, man...especially this line: 

"you're not a reincarnate of kerouac just because 

you smoke cigarettes and own a vintage typewriter."

pretty true. the honesty here is brutal, but really likable and refreshing. thanks for sharing this. :)
