child, literature is not philosophy wrapped up in a story, please kys

The only thing poetry has over prose is how consice its supposed to be.
Saying so much in so little.
Makes sense to work on being as consice as possible in presenting your ideas first.

This makes me doubt as to weather you actually grasp the meaning of literature or of philosophy possibly both.

poetry is fucking gay and useless. just like you
