Contextroversy

Poetry is the polish we use to buff our egos.
Poetry is the book we buy to add colour to the shelf.
Poetry is about comparing vocabulary with a tape measure.

Poetry is popular only when ravished, which is to say raped.
Poetry is a consumptive heroine.
Poetry is self harm.
Poetry is.
