Poems are a weak surrender. At best,
poems are a feeble hope there’s a God
and the God is the public.
The invisible God is powerful and useful.
Two related reasons: The invisible God
rebukes the dangerous idea
that the public is God. It lifts superstition up.
Superstition is better than a servile poem.
I would rather question everything than be weak.
Listen to me. My poem cannot speak.
