Forty-Six Less 2, or My Ego’s Id

What happened the old me, the word-feast, the poet’s poet seed,
The feel-good, for-self’s-sake sower of stories?
What happened to the spiteless fighter of bias, the truthteller?
What happened to having nothing better to do but to do better?
How was he replaced by this, his bitter, cynical mimic
Who would search to scorch, excoriate, scourge from the earth
The least, littlest fleeting flake of genuine feeling?
Am I so fast to escape the fate of those whose delight is proved a lie
That I see the human species as polluters incapable of truth?
Are my ducts just in denial, or is my heart making bile?
