ECW wrestling fans
are bad
when someone misses
a maneuver
the crowd starts chantin,
“You fucked up!
You fucked up!”
It’s kind of juvenile
when you think about it
so don’t think about it
just take it at face value
and accept it
for what it is
which is just entertainment
but it is a bad influence
even though
everyone is too busy
blaming it on television
but I don’t really
see a difference
I watch
and I listen
but it gets hard,
at times,
not to fall under the spell
there are times at work
when someone makes a booboo
and I want to start chanting
“You fucked up!!
You fucked up!”
but I bite my tongue
there are times
at the grocery store
when someone drops a bag
of groceries on the floor
and I note the error
but keep tongue in check
sometimes I find
myself changing,
“EC-dub! EC-dub!”
which is code for
“You fucked up!
You fucked up!”
and it makes me feel
like a buffoonish cartoon
much like the wrestlers themselves
I ain’t sure
if there’s more merit in it
but it sure is fun

It is great because it
It is great because it provides freedom to a lot of talented poets and writers to be able to express themselves without fear of rejection. The editors at the journals and zines often get it wrong. This helps correct that.
