What do you think this poem is about?

A Poet Is An Insane Being

A poet is an
insane being
Who scorn eyeglasses
And loathe reading,
With his
senses so keen
He sees something in
Everything, with
deep meaning
Inspiration – motivation,
Though vague,
Mind navigating,
Hallucinating,
He - he alone
Mean what he means
He plays with words
Simple – complex words
Creatively – rhyming
Vivid imaginary,
In poems or literary
It’s his craft,
He’s skillful at it
No doubt,
I have no doubt
About it.
