but I enjoy watching others
with self-image issues
what they're up to and think
we don’t really get to look
at ourselves enough when
we’re younger despite the
redoubtable Geoffrey Hill
who feels the poem is more
important than the poet
while I pleadingly protest
how can the poem just toss
the poet out the window
someone so loved so long
and yet it must
if either is to succeed
I count success
to be summarily forgotten
once the poem is done
as background as the Baptist
once the One has come
