For today, I'll be a poet.  
How to be one? Wouldn't know it  
if it hit me on the head,  
might be called a hack, instead.

Lovers that I've loved, unsmitten.  
Notes to songs I won't have written  
sounding off inside my ears,  
like the chatter of my peers,  
cure it, with a few more beers.

Is that it, entire story?  
Greater truth, an allegory,  
hiding behind this façade?

Don't believe it. You've been had.
