TRANSCENDENTALLY CLASSLESS

A genuine poet isn't bourgeois,

Still less proletarian,

But transcendentally classless,

Identifying with the supernatural,

Not the natural or the antinatural.

Proletarian intellectuals are usually novelists,

Bourgeois intellectuals ... philosophers.

Neither of which can write genuine poetry,

Though they may attempt something above themselves.

The genuine poet, however, won't

Attempt anything beneath himself.

It would be less than genuine - a supernatural

Novel or philosophy the paradoxical outcome!
