(a Poet's) An Anachronism Poem by moon batchelder

a poet's an anachronism
and poetry's absurd.
their minds full of philologism,
idolatry of words.

who make of their experiences,
or such as love and rage
so much the less; -their circumstance
enscribed upon the page.

or maybe hording reminisence,
like some miser's gold.
recording every moment's nuance
as if a secret told.

slave to circumspect observances
with ready pen in hand.
no wage set, nor deliverance
and none that understand.
