Returned Valentine

Is a great vice the price
Of a great talent
Or is it just the talent’s
 
Not yet strong enough
To overcome the vice
Never totally vanquished
 
How to apply its powers
To itself the imagination
That makes self-mockery possible
 
Humility is never lacking
In the truly talented
A sense of gratitude and service
 
So the talent is lifted up
And given back
To the gods
