First poem in 7 years

i am normally terrified of poetry, but the idea of a pseudo-haiku (thanks katelyn) is too good to resist

the fact
that everybody sucks
doesn't ensure the wind will blow

there are 3 reasons this pseudo-haiku is awesome/life-altering
1) it's cheeky AND snotty
2) it exploits the ambiguity of the word "suck"
3) it resolves the classic "man vs. nature" conflict

p.s. for those who don't understand the concept of a pseudo-haiku, it's a haiku without borders, a poem with the soul of a haiku but an arbitrary body
