Bad Poetry?

I still disagree.  When I see a bad movie, I don't forget what a good movie is like. Do you?  It doesnt taint the uh.. 'art form' for lack of a better word, as a whole. When I read a bad poem, I don't lower my standards for what I consider good  poetry. And, what do you mean "everyone believes that the shit is caviar". You're talking about EVERYONE now? You mean THEM, right? This sucky "them", whoever they are. (AND THEY SUCK). And then, you say, WE lose. Who is the we? Poetry as a whole? There IS no whole, it's just a bunch of subgroups (see: us). And yeah, maybe in the popular media, maybe all the Angelous will be hailed as the epitome of poet-y perfection, and it'll annoy the holy Baby Jesus out of you - but if that's what you're worried about, since when have the dominant culture, the majority of people, had any good taste and discretion anyway?
