Nothing is happening and nothing ever will happen ever

I hate poetry.
In "The Great Beethoven Fallacy" they discuss poetry.
The voice of the hole (-hole-) is poetry publishers and magazines and tao lin and shit.
You will need a key:
-Hole-

#Soviet soldier#:

We all sigh
And the Soldier takes a biro out of his pocket
And starts writing on his hand.

[What are you writing?]
#I write the pome, you know?#
-Poem?-
[What about it?]
-I hate poetry-
#Why you hate the pome?#

XII.

People don’t do poetry right these days.
To avoid cliché
You must avoid connections
Between words.
You must avoid regular structure,
Syntax
And correct grammar.
You must not mention landscape,
God
Or love.
You must make use of vulgarity.
You must include diagrams
And avoid,
Where possible,
The use of words
In favour of symbols or numbers.
You must not use vowels.
By ignoring the aforementioned rules
One fails to be original
And will be banished to the realm of greetings cards,
Children’s books
And vanity publishing.

#I think I crack it#

The soldier has been furiously scribbling throughout the lecture.

#Can I read the pome?#

Me and the hole nod.

We all sit silent,
Aware that we have just witnessed a pivotal historical moment.

-Shit-
#What?#
-That was remarkable-
[You are going to be a rich man]
#I owe this to you#

He pats the ground tenderly.
