Bunsho |
| I’d just done the best work |
| To fall into my hands for quite some time: |
| Of night oil I’d burned much |
| Made sure both style and content were sublime |
| So I put it forward |
| To the public forum |
| In anticipation of my due acclaim |
| And meanwhile, by contrast |
| I’d penned a eulogy, pure workaday |
| Just hack work, just dashed off |
| Packed full of prolix puff and sad cliche… |
| No-one can really tell |
| When their hand’s been played out well |
| And I don’t even know |
| How my own story goes |
| Or if it’s worth a jot |
| I can’t see my stream |
| What I thought was perfect |
| What I thought was polished |
| No-one thought it worth much |
| And they made that clear |
| What I thought was worthless |
| Merely repetition |
| Somehow tugged the heartstrings |
| Brought them all to tears |
| I can’t see my stream |
| No-one can ever know |
| What of their own’s their very best |
