Statement of poetics

I actually did it. I wrote my own statement of poetics. Can it measure up to Samuel Coleridge's ingenious "best words" or Frank O'Hara's profound discovery of Personism? Probably not. Can it embody the cleverness of my head being ripped off Dickinson. Not a chance. Will it ever match up to William Carlos Williams "no ideas but in things?" Never. but it's mine. all mine. and no one can take that away from me.
