I don't like. I used to love them. But after looking through contemporary poets and seeing everyone writing like them I am fed up.

Are you talking about his songs and whatnot? I never took them as too beat-y, though I usually sing them in my head while reading to the tune of an actual rock song.

His songs are like the only thing I even remember from Gravity's Rainbow.

and a stock comb in my hair
I'm just as suave as ice cream cone
yeah i'm Mr. Debonair!'

I love that song.
