Conference Call

Can I declare a duty poetic,
orating of a love alphabetic?

No honorable intentions, 
free-venting my notions…
Escapes in a mere write,
reshaping joys, or spite…
Echoing wordy sashays,
nuances, and mind play…

Calculating mythomania,
elevates to an egomania!

Cast the grandiose delusions aside
Artistry is where pretensions abide…

Like words full of farce,
levitate beautiful scars!
