you have to have a thick hide or not give a shit to write poetry
I do not give a shit
most people do not read poetry
making any poet who receives criticism happy
knowing his poetry is read
and can stirr passion .

I am thrilled when I receive a letter
to Ross Runfola, “ ‘a mentally retired looser’
whose lauzy poetry make me sick
and who socks!!!!
a man without culture and class
who is not really okei upstairs.”

“I grow up,” it continues, “ reading poetry like Pushkin,
Lermontov and Maykovski, not your sheet.
I don’t think any womens could stay with you
except cheeseburger American bimbos
I don’t like you
spank the monkee tonight.”
Eurika closes by saying ,
”I’m sure you will write some poetry about me
like you did about other womens
just because we were saying get some help
you ‘mentally retired looser’.”

Eurika inspired this poem so the least I can do
is dedicate it to my erudite Sweedish womens
after I spank the monkee.
