Narcissus Poeticus

I think of myself now more as an anonymous person
Than I did before, since I knew me too intimately
Convinced that – anonymous being just another version
Of nameless – by Jove, this incognito couldn’t mean me.

Long self-love has taught me: anonymous is the one word
That certainly suits best to what I especially am.
To hell with the world’s unanonymous bonus, goddam
When even the starry sky’s godheads’ ID is all blurred.
