in
the self-conscious place
competing concepts
oil-deep self-doubt
tired of poetry
tired of life :
"the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to"
my verse receiving praise
that would have meant
so much to the college student,
who of course
couldn't write as well
not suicidal
not giving up,
thought today
I might write something
in
lines
