Insincerity

Poetry is uneven

reading or writing it

dealing with it

sets me off my feet

I sometimes throw liquor

or sex around it and hope it's well suited

I liken it to things

without its likeness or like of it

to see if it adds what I've been missing

I need success —not

sex or songbirds or anything I have

or haven't had

It's a pity that I love it anyway
