life is short enough as it is, what is the point in worrying about opportunity cost when you know, almost certainly, that your use of that time would be fruitless no matter what you do? Might as well do things that are enjoyable.

If your argument is that reading is a poor substitute for actually "living", then I would tend to agree; experiences trump reading after a certain point because your sense of self is solidified, and no amount of lecturing by an author will change that.

So where the fuck do I start with poetry?

To coom or not to coom, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
Nighttime boners and wet dreams of outragous depravity,
Or to take lube against a sea of coombait
And by embracing it coom then. To coom- to nut,
And by coom to say we beat
The meat-heat and a thousand curling toes
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a coomsumation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To wank, to jerk it;
To jerk it, perchance to COOM
