Bad Poetry

Why do radio voices need to read poetry as though they are haunted, leering
over the words, oilily
creeping over their fake relish. With smug pride
they grease their lecture with subjective
power, diluted
by the arrogance of a personal offering of insight. Adding
a soft American accent
the thin veil of "known" is securely parcelled.
But not revealed
except to followers.
Never upgrading their chosen selection.
