Am I flarf?

A thoughtful editor just wrote to say he almost wants to publish my poem "Occasionally Yours." Of course I wish he'd go on his nerve and publish the poem, but I appreciate his candor in no-thanksing like this (linebreaks mine):

it was a surpirse
to read, and is more
worthwhile than usual

Flarf

influenced stuff, and it seems somehow
involved with itself, which

Flarf

poetry has veered from
and landed itself
in a dead-end over; but
my feeling is that
there is not enough at stake
behind this involvement
in this poem.

And here's my answer song:

Everything is at stake.
