i get this e-mail today: <br /> <br />'yamrus, you no-talent, <br />egotistical hack! <br />i bought your latest book <br />and couldn't even get <br />halfway through it <br />without falling asleep. <br />you write crap! <br />i'll have you know <br />i've got a blog <br />with nearly a hundred readers <br />and i'm going to tell every one of them <br />your poetry sucks. <br />not only that, <br />but you suck, <br />you stupid, no-talent hack! ' <br /> <br />dear anonymous. i'm glad <br />i was able to help you get <br />some much needed rest. <br /> <br />i'll have you know <br />that letters like yours <br />only make me stronger. <br /> <br />it's indifference <br />which creates the void <br />and kills the soul. <br /> <br />by the way, <br />thanks for buying the book. <br />i'm sure you'll be happy to know <br />you helped <br />pay for <br />this great bottle of wine <br />i'm having right now. <br /> <br />i wish i could talk longer, <br />but i've got to run. <br />i'm feeling <br />an uncontrollable need <br />to piss off <br />someone <br />else.<br /><br />John Yamrus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-get-this-e-mail-today/
