Versos perversos

Perverse Verses
My verses are wicked fruits
And they don't sprout out of nowhere
Contrary to this widely spoken thing
Of inspiration coming from the ethereal space
I challenge this old argument
I say awake and dreaming, I persist
Verses are fruits with serious flavors
Insomnia, loneliness, or discontent
Verses are almost like a will
Left by shady men
