Though poet, I hate symbolism--
Things always having to mean something else,
The arrogant disdain for the literal,
For the material world.
The teacher's damned
Christ symbols, phallic symbols.
I hate myth too, the predictable
Persephone figures, Christ
Figures. And facile similes,
Transparent allegories, poems about
Mythological paintings
Or jazz musicians...
