I Told My Friends the Poem Was Blurry Because the Copier Wept








EARTHLY FAILURE

Mary Ruefle

The copier grew tired of copying,
made a terrible, sick sound
and died

I told my friends the poem was
blurry because the copier wept
while reading it.

That poem ruined the world,
it made everyone shy.

Now I've ruined the poem,
there's nothing left
but a knight sticking his sword
in a snail.

  1. somebody said 'it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism'

    a)if this is true - why would it be true?

    b)if somebody said this - who was it?

    c)who were they talking to?*

    d)if somebody said this - what else did they say?

    e)if they said something else - where would you find it?
