Not Analyzable
... ... ...
I am a judge...
But I have been paid off
I am a politician...
But I have been paid off
I am trying to be a poet...
Could I be bought ?
Would I be watched ?
Would I be followed ?
Not analyzable
The slightness of hopes...
Plus intelligence... Plus ruins...
Would equal my solitary violence ?
I will make it look... to whoever cares...
Like I am being obstinate...
And writing superficial verses
Artelessly... No energy... No vitality
So simple and devoid of my essence
My former self passing from existance
