Why I Write, Part x+237: My Own Hypocrisy

A poet finds a reliable refuge in audacity,
Which is liable to become refuge in hypocrisy,
Comfort in the things he does with his pen, between the sheets,
But hypocrisy is the most human of honesties.
No matter how many times I drew inspiration from mediocrity,
Only to rail against life's banality,
Only to rail against heaven and earth,
I always believed in the work.

I suppose the poet is a jerk.
