John Yamrus - I get this e-mail today

i get this e-mail today:

'yamrus, you no-talent,
egotistical hack!
i bought your latest book
and couldn't even get
halfway through it
without falling asleep.
you write crap!
i'll have you know
i've got a blog
with nearly a hundred readers
and i'm going to tell every one of them
your poetry sucks.
not only that,
but you suck,
you stupid, no-talent hack! '

dear anonymous. i'm glad
i was able to help you get
some much needed rest.

i'll have you know
that letters like yours
only make me stronger.

it's indifference
which creates the void
and kills the soul.

by the way,
thanks for buying the book.
i'm sure you'll be happy to know
you helped
pay for
this great bottle of wine
i'm having right now.

i wish i could talk longer,
but i've got to run.
i'm feeling
an uncontrollable need
to piss off
someone
else.

John Yamrus
