My vanity has slipped the leash.
I’ve fallen for the lie again
that, if my work is lauded, talent
tips my lightly guided pen.
I realise I'm wrong. I think
opinion and taste are much
mistaken for objective truth and
neither should be seen as such.
I wonder then quite what I seek
and why I share what I produce.
Circling my shifty ego
ultimately I reduce
myself to cells and ganglia
and thus, to physiology
wherein an over-weaning I
conceals a due apology.
Terrific!
Which is to say, of course, that there is no such animal as 'objectivity'. But we all know that; so just enjoy the writing and the plaudits when you get them. Someone has connected. What more can you ask?
Andy,
Stop being so (talentedly) humble. It`s partly the sharing and partly the kick.

Morning to you both. I fully accept what you both say; it's just something i've always been conscious of and the urge to address it in rhyme arose, so i responded in the only way i know how.
