I wish poets understood that the general population has no interest in what we do, so when we speak we are speaking only to each other. The delusion that poetry is something powerful is a straight line to all kinds of toxic positivities that are really just us lying to ourselves.

Toxic positivity is one of the few toxic X things that really is legitimately a bad thing for society.
Other than a few famous paintings and so on really the average person doesn't know a thing about art. The people who are interested in specific stuff like poetry do it all in their own world completely separately from anyone else.
Nice gymnastics switching the conversation back to the completely unrelated r-slurred political topic of the day.
