One-Word Poem

Big Al: So, Eric, you teach writing. I’m a terrible writer. The worst. When I was in grade school, our teacher told me we had to write a one-word poem.
Mike: What the hell’s a one-word poem?
Big Al: Exactly. It’s stupid. I said I’m not gonna do this shit. So she calls up my mother and says your kid’s an asshole he won’t write his poem. My mom says, if he don’t wanna do it, don’t make him do it.
Mike: How about “Fuck”? That’s a good one-word poem.
Big Al: Nah, she said it was like “Love.”
Me: That sounds like an awful poem.
Mike: Yeah, “Fuck” is way better.
