Playing Doctor, Pt. 1 (Why I Write, Part x+259)

Diagnosis: Mood disorder that doesn't exist.
Symptoms Include: Tendency to insist
On passionate wording of grand declarations,
Announcements, pronouncements, and their explanations;
Attempts to regale you with tales of past glories,
Or at least entertain you with shaggy-dog stories;
Preferring my eyes' lies to other, wiser senses;
Ignoring the banalities of income and expenses;
and disdain for life, contemning days and nights
To write.
