not so much a bad teacher, as very little interesting material to teach
we're moving into a post literate society
its not a sad thing, just natural IMO
more and more sub literate students
get churned out by my countries education system every year
a 9th grade primer from a hundred years ago
looks like things we learn in graduate school now
i like the idea of all poetry existing as living language again
when I went to school I would go into the library
and it would just be, vacant
thousands of text books that hadn't been touched for years
dead information
I don't like seeing poetry reduced to that
I like it when its recorded and disseminated
without any cultural gatekeepers getting in the way
I wanted to be a poet until I realized that poets starve to death
and get appreciated later
now i try to be a musician
