So here is the secret: it will fail
mostly because all gimmicks thrive
on the myth of sincerity, and there is
none here; except to say I wish
I could judge my lines as well
as those who labor for years
over a simple conceit—long walks,
dreams, research—or at least the agreement
of cohabitation, then the break of it;
the contempt, the betrayal: this is verse.
