A reminder (for myself)

The density of a poem
is inversely related
to the number of its readers
and directly related
to the size of the poet's ego.

But is the poet's ego
in tension
with other "parts" of his mind?
If I could disagree with Freud,
if i could disagree with the West,
then I would warrant
such a disagreement
on the grounds of creation,
where the crown of our head
is bestowed with quite an image,
quite a likeness.

Indeed, even after sin's arrival
on the scene,
humankind is still allowed access
to the divine court.
But the inverse of the courtliness
is true:
Jesters wear crowns, not kings.
