NOW I DON’T LIKE POETRY

Now I don't like poetry.
Why did I ever like poetry?
I wouldn't be surprised if it were for a vile reason,
like those who become Christian 
just so they might be forgiven.
I might forgive wishing to be forgiven,
but poetry, which wastes time and is vain,
cannot win me over again.
Poetry isn't necessary to be Christian---
only the desire to be forgiven.
I might possibly understand this desire.
But what is poetry's desire?
It has no desire. I ask, "what will I write?" 
How can we desire "what will I write?"
Nothing has been written yet.
Are you seeing the problem here?
You hate this already, I bet.
