If You Hate Poetry

i have read that somewhere,

if you hate poetry
you have to get
this book,
buy it, and
you will love
it.

sales talk.
if you really hate poetry,
why buy
a book of poetry?

you may dislike me
but poems
are nothing but
spits
of something
that you do not
want to stay
inside your throat

all i need
is a little relief
from this
urge to vomit

and here you
are

reading mine.

(i am
laughing)

so do you really hate
poetry?

k, buy that book
you will really
love it
(the book)

and hate the more
what you hated most.
