CRITIC'S LAIR

Folder: 
SYD BARRETT AVENUE

 

 

ethical paradoxes arise

I can feel

the desperation of solitude

that passes slowly

 

creepy, creepy, creepy

it has my skin crawling

 

You have to remember

that all these critics

need to believe

that they are smarter

than the average bear

 

so they champion obscurity

and wear it like a badge

they are in the know

and they’re proving it

by their choice of music

or film or art

 

and it’s all rather boring

and I have no desire

to go along for the ride

 

it just isn’t worth the effort

and I find

that I can not abide

never saw

big L movie. Desperation of solitude is pretty topical. Following requires followers and many just follow. That 's how we got Trump.

ooh, political commentary on a social poem.  Cool, I can live with that.
