Things are bigger than they appear - Sweek

Written by：Pierre Constant/François Sauveur/Florence Sauveur/David Hougardy/Olivier Sorée/Damien Sorée

Reading the poets has been the dullest of things

Even reading the great novelists of the past

I said tolstoy is supposed to be special

I go to bed I read war and peace

I read it I read it I say where is the specialist

In war and peace

I really tried to understand

I mean and then many of the great poets of the past

I've read their stuff

I've read it all I get is a goddamn headache and boredom

I really feel sickness in the pit of my stomach

I say there's some trick going on here this is not true

This is not real it's not good

You see poetry itself contains as much energy as a hollywood industry

As much energy as a stage play on broadway

All it needs is practitioners who are alive to bring it alive

Poetry has always been said to be a private hidden art

Not appreciated

The reason it's not appreciated is because it hasn't shown any guts

Hasn't shown any dance hasn't shown any moxie

Poetry is generally very dull very pretensive

Uh those who say the poet is very private and precious person

I don't agree with

Generally he is just a dumb fiddling asshole writing insecure lines that don't come through

Believing he's immortal waiting for his immortality which never arrives

Because the poor f**ker just can't write

Most poets coets whoets carrots can't even write a simple line

Like the dog walked down the street

Nothing should ever be done that should be done

It has to come out like a good hot beer sh*t

A good hot beer sh*t is glorious man

You get up turn around look at it and your proud

The fumes the stink of the turd you look you say God

I did it I'm good
