Who can call this man a nattering ass,
(I say I created my looking glass),
Since I opened his mouth to amuse me
With my own exquisite philosophy?
No one can say I didn’t make the world
That flaps like a flag some soldier unfurled.
I needn’t apologize that I willed
To have that soldier spared, wounded, or killed.
There’s no one to extend my regrets to,
Except my entirely imagined “you.”
I make, making sure I can change the day.
“Prove it!” you demand, which I made you say.
There’s only my beautiful Narcissus
And can be only him as me, no “us.”
