i really did not want
to write a poem
and i really had
nothing to say
so i wrote this poem

i was in san francisco
for seventeen minutes
and i got so worried
that i could not write a poem
for three weeks.

but today i listened to
pavarotti singing nessun dorma
and when he sang vincerò
i fully recovered
and wrote this poem.

i told rafael i will write a poem
about how miltos chose art
instead of a giros restaurant chain
but then i felt bad about making fun
of miltos’ horrible life choices
and decided not to write that poem

for every poem that i wrote
there are seven poems
i did not write
because
i was afraid of taking it too far
or i was unable to find the words.

and, in my megalomania,
i feel guilt
that i am too weak
to enlighten you with the truth,
but only way forward
is not to quit
but to keep writing safe and easy poems
like this one.

ένα ποίημα
in fünf Sprachen
is easy to write
ma è molto difficile
да сe чита

last night a friend reminded me
that i should write poems more often.

at that very moment in my head
i came up with the best poem ever.

but this morning i forgot most of it
and all i remember is:
mayonnaise and béchamel
are not so hard to make at home.

philip morris employees
think exactly how
matthew perry’s dealers talk.

but they will never speak or write it
and instead they simply
understand each other.

great writers
are not good at writing.
they are only good
at writing in one very specific way.
and there are gazillion ways
we can write.

do not read, write.
do not watch, do.
do not consume, make.

i remember
how long long time ago
i would go out,
have a nice dinner,
get a bit tipsy,
listen to some cool music
on my way home,
and write a poem
as soon as i got back.
i just do not do that anymore.

i have no idea
how i write this stuff.
it just pops up!

i am more or less
just a reader.
like you!

artificial intelligence
will never be able
to write this poem

i do not know
when i will write
my first poem
in year 2024
but it will not be soon

i felt sorry
that i did not write
more poems this week
but then i realized
that when i am dead
no one will care
if i wrote one or hundred
poems in a week.

irena told me
i should
write a poem today.

i said: fuck that,
i will not write poems
on a saturday.

i wanted to write a poem
but i decided
to play monopoly
with my kids
instead

sometimes
it is difficult
to write a poem
but not because
i have nothing to say
but because i am lazy

one day i will write a book
that will change literature.

i will reveal the end in the very start,
and the rest of it will be shit
but everyone will love it and hate it,
and it will be the most boring fun book ever.

today would be
a good day
not to write a poem

just because you
read, own, write, quote a lot of books,
it does not mean you know shit.

books are just a fucking product
made to help you feel smarter than others.
they are a louis vuitton bag.

sure, writing a book
takes a lot of brain effort
but so does masturbating ten times a day.

smart people were much more useful
before books were invented.
they did not need 300 pages to be heard.

if you want to be smart
do not buy things
that make you feel smart.

i do not understand
why all of you
do not write poems.
it is so easy.
just write a poem now!

every time when
i do not write poems
for a long time
i wish to start again with
a very important poem

i am very sorry
but today
i am too lazy
to write a poem

i will try
to write ten poems
not about
pretentious philosophical things

i will resist
and not write
a pretentious philosophical poem
today

if i do not
write a poem today
it will be a shitty day

if i do nothing all day
or i am an asshole all day
and i write at least one poem
and publish it online
then i believe
it was a good day

today i will write
one of the best poems
i have ever written

the phrase
“while i drift into nihilism”
was repeating in my head
and i felt i should write
a poem about it,
but i had no idea
how to actually use it
or what it means

i like to write poems
about poems
because not many people
can do something
about that something
so it is special

i have not written
any poems
for few weeks
and i feel like
i forgot how to
write poems

after a few days
of not being in a mood
to write poems
i finally wrote a poem

i am sorry
for being too lazy to
write poems for a few days

sometimes i just want to relax
and not write about the world
and just write about clouds

my poetry
is defined by
artificial intelligence
in a sense
that i will
never use it
to write poetry.

the worst way
to write a poem
is to try to write a poem.

you will either
wait for seven hours
to get a decent idea
or you will write
a shitty poem
like i just did.

for few days
i did not write poems
and i felt bad about it.

i wanted to write poems
about credit cards,
my kids as forty year olds,
and some other stuff,
but no poems really emerged.

that is it. that is the poem.

as i said before
my goal is to write
a perfect poem which saves all people.

to achieve this
i must practice writing every day
and focus on the most abstract level
of the human experience.

most importantly
i must find the perfect moment
to write this poem
which is the last moment of my life
when i am still fit to write.

the biggest challenge is
to know when is
my last poetry writing moment
and capture it.

i write poems
which salvador dali
was too afraid to write

someone fifty years from now
will write poems
that i am too afraid to write

my poems
are not important
because i write well.
i am actually
very bad at writing.
my poems are important
because i believe
in what i try to write
with every particle
of my existence.

vanessa asked me to write about feminism
so here it goes:

gatherers were replaced by housewives,
housewives were replaced by feminists,
feminists were replaced by millions of fluid gender identities.

in the future
we will all be perfectly equal and free
and we will again be
gatherers, housewives, feminists, and millions of fluid gender identities.

but we will completely forget how to actually be
gatherers, housewives, feminists, and millions of fluid gender identities,
so we will simply invent new better versions of them.

i will not
write a poem today.
i am not into it.
i am bored to do it.
it feels like a chore.
my head is empty
and i have nothing to share.
maybe tomorrow
i will write one
but, sorry,
today there are
no new poems.

you want to have a great life before you die.
to have a great life you must develop abstract thinking.
best way to develop abstract thinking is to write and read.
but you are probably too lazy, just like me, to read and write a lot.

then you should read my very short poetry
and be inspired by my poetry to write your very short poetry
which will also develop your abstract thinking
and help you have a great life before you die.

you are welcome.

my poems are random
because my thinking is random
but i will still not write a poem
about taking a shit
or eating a banana.
or maybe i will.

wait for a political event
watch all the main news about it
find something obvious that no news wants to mention
write a poem about it
