Transcendental Sonnet #720:
So Just Keep Throwing That Trailer-Trash At Me!

Thank you my stupid critics for inspiring
Me if only by being so disgusting
Rousing me to angry workouts most tiring
Thus keeping my sharp surfaces from rusting
For being stupefyingly annoying
While holding me to your illiterate flame
Thus keeping me from getting soft and cloying
Paradoxically adding to my fame

I never work so well as when inspired by
That anger from the heartland you are fired by
Instead of getting hurt and being mired by
Your shapeless formless nameless hostility
My pleasure is to turn your trash to treasure
So just keep throwing that trailer-trash at me!
