Selling Out

If I read another post
by a pretentious writer
talking about how she won’t sell out her art,
I’ll scream.

They have a word
for stuff produced
that no one wants.

It is called…

Garbage.

If you can’t sell a product
(i.e. selling out),
because no one wants it,
you’re producing garbage.
The world doesn’t need
more garbage.

Go ahead
and produce something
fresh, creative, exciting
but please make sure
it is something people
actually want.
