letting go is easy

letting go is easy
you wrap your arms and legs
around the object of your desires
you cling on as if for dear life
you sink your teeth into it
and through the nose
you say you've let go

you know how it is

i will lie to you

i will say
we are done

i will tell you
life has never been better

i will say
i don't think about you
at all

i will tell you
i am so over you

i will say
i have moved on

how to write brilliant poetry

start with a rant

contextualise
the rant

situate it
in post-
postmodern theory, perhaps

reference it

and
call it poetry
