call it what you want

this is for all the lonely
people
isn't that how it went? do you think
the song meant as much
the 500th time it was sung?
doubt it.

just as the hunch i have
is melted in the wave 
of the heat of your hand
and the beard of your man
i deflate
at the first hint of humility

how can i paint again
knowing that he
is taken seriously
and i'm like the old ladies
at the league
content in their tubes'
brilliance.
