cruel salesmanship

Dude, man
your poetry sucks!
My poetry's way better than yours
it kicks ass. Your
poetry on the other hand:
like a handle
where the blade fell out
of what used to be a knife. Mine -
just look at that sturdy
full-tang construction! And sharp?
cut a copper penny
and then slice a heart, like a ripe tomato
look, the skin's
not even torn! Just an even line,
not even visible, as you
hold the two halves
together
