The idiot girl @theParisReview says uncool: 
that, to critique, the phrase, the trappings of, 
is used by “100% pretentious hacks.” And    
  
the editor @PoetryFound retweets her crap, 
and an article on pooping, besides. I was  
 
going to tweet a Baudelaire, from “Beauty,” line,  
line by displaced line: 
I am beautiful, o mortals, like a dream of stone 
But thought better of it (a proscribed phrase?) 
 —an unpretentious #Stalinist might  
tell me not to translate, or Baudelaire not to write.  
(But what does this mean:  
 
Je hais le mouvement qui déplace les lignes?  
  
Is the idiot girl @ParisCool right?) No, she is  
an idiot, disliking a history without her part, 
as I dislike the way the young are heartless, mean,  
calling it honest (and I was different @18?)
