One-bit critics




in olden days
(pre-internet)
the function of 'critic'
(aesthete, connoisseur)
was laudable (meritorious
commendable)

trained to reject the common
and elevate the
unjustly overlooked




now that function
has been streamlined down
to clicking a
'fave this' star

anyone can do it

the honor has been
forgotten
