Think of me again
(declaratively,
long-handed
pun perhaps
intended?).
Do you think
me modestly,
or perhaps even
exceedingly (don’t
stretch it, you idiot,
he thinks, addressing
himself, I have to believe)
intelligent? If so, would
that be inherent? Do
I approach genius
or am I just an
over-achiever.
I mean, if you
think I am
at all intellectual?
Only, if you’d be so
kind as to indulge
the over-indulgent,
please don’t answer
any of those questions,
as I don’t want my
personal beliefs
on such matters
to be sullied in
any way.
