eat it or read it
From the book review of SUPER-INFINITE: The Transformations of John Donne, by Katherine Rundell:
Rundell’s own style can dazzle, though at times the wit feels a bit strained, as when she describes Donne’s unreadable tract “Pseudo-Martyr” as “so dense it would be swifter to eat it than to read it."
-
I can think of a poem or two that one might say was "so dense it would be swifter to eat it than to read it."

feeding the web's maw
There is no poem so lacking in intellectual nourishment that the internet will not eat it.
