“This is a poem, maybe more poetics, titled, ‘why postmodernity reflects nothing more than academic self-stroking.’ There’s more read in the way someone reads instead of what is written down, and sometimes a caricature is just a caricature, even resembling a feeble attempt at self-awareness, which echoes originality today. But if you ask, I’ll reference Shakespeare’s fools. And here’s a quote of a quote to reinforce this cartoon: ‘“The style is the man himself,” people repeat without seeing any harm in it, and without worrying about the fact that man is no longer so sure a reference point.’ Look at me, the zany, hip hipster who, despite my title, or because of it, is not too good to have fun at my own expense. What a good boy am I.”
that's exactly the point he's making, poetry criticism is 50 years behind art criticism. in the 1970s you'd be the guy bitching about warhol "he just paints soup cans!"

Read that out in a suit and it would be very good
