Took you how many years to get the jist?
If I took it personally every time someone said shit to me I would make Hitler look like MartIn Luther King Jr.
No, I don't care. No, I also don't want anyone dead either. I simply got past caring what others think I should do or be. I am myself, and make no apology for it.
No, I didn’t mean you don’t care what other people think about you. The fact that you don’t is an admirable trait.
I meant you just don’t care about poetry. You seem to think that if you take whatever random sentences appear in your brain and break them up into quatrains that it counts as a ‘poem’. It really doesn’t. For someone who claims to be a poet, you obviously don’t care enough about poetry to even attempt to construct a poem, contenting yourself instead with the textual equivalent of a case of the trots.
And the word is ‘gist’, not ‘jist’. A poet should know that.
