The poetry herein above is so profound
that it could inspire me
to write poetry--almost--
but that I'm confined to this low-down kind of mind,
one which has dragged at me for years--
the kind not to be assigned tasks
that it does not care for.
One, rather, that scorns to mark
its silly effusions on the screen.It objects, and pretends to perfect,
heightens, and confects strange objects
for verse, phantasies most perverse,
desecrations of the sublime universe I would inhabit
if I were to write poetry, truly.
Poetry is such a pain, wreaking havoc
with one's thoughts, insisting on cleverness, and
some part of wisdom, and the parsing
of piquant phrases. All beyond me.So I shall retire from the stage (or screen),
taking no part in this pantomime
of wit.Your friend, Honore
