A summary of nonsense
Make it simple, make it short
and have something to tell,
or else shut up and go to hell.
That would be all the catechism
for any writer; and if it were followed
we would not have all this trash
of nonsense, sex and violence,
pornography and senselessness;
but on the other hand,
we would not probably have any poet left
or anyone at all who would be writing,
since, if everyone could properly look through himself,
we would all see the vanity
of all performance and self-exhibition
while the only valid stuff remaining
would be basically universal
and anonymous documentation
of the simple truth
the shorter and the better.
