disadvantages to recombining a breakup poem in order to offer advice to a friend:
1) it's poem about a poem--both of them good poems
2) inevitably, it runs the risk of sounding like a hard-line lecture instead of just words of encouragement
3) which makes the author of the original poem feel a little bit of an ass-clown
4) it's a poem about a poem, and the thing is, poems are a bit dramatic even when they're edging the lower key, heightened experience and all that, and then there's also the fact that it's a poem, and the details and the things described within it may not bear too much reportorial accuracy on the actual source confict and inspiration
5) a fancy way of saying, "dude...sometimes a guy just needs to write a thing or two to make loud words out of softer, clean attempts of resolving something"
6) which is to say: yesterday, while having coffee with a friend, and i swear this is true, while brushing my hair out of my eyes found a crust there--which when teased from it turned out to be a booger...and i have no idea how it got there
7) if you have any ideas how, just let me know
