just saw a sonnet and immediately knew it needed less sonnet by Ezra Pound

Ernest, you wrote the same sentence in five different jackets and called it style

at least my sentences know where they’re going; yours need a map and a lawyer

both of you write like you got paid by the word and got offended by it

fine, but history quoted me and merely borrowed you

Ezra, your favorite genre is turning a paragraph into a hostage situation

you say that like your own drafts don’t look like a shipping invoice
