A Dark Poem Inspired By CHEKHOV's Black Monk

________________________________________________________________________________________________

We abuse the word
genius
because of vanity
 
We need high praise
for the self or the other
and yearn for such words
from father or mother
 
True Genius does not
begin with vanity
