I can neither chant nor sing;
My battered heart is weak,
My lungs cannot sustain
High notes and rhythm.
.
My limbs cannot sway a dance;
My crooked legs wobble,
My thin arms harden
From a childhood polio.

Don't expect a story from me;
My memory loses easily
The faces I see and draw
And the wild flowers I pick.

If I am a poem, a masterpiece
Of cliches struggling to be profound,
Of meaningless words and metaphors,
Of all, God is the worst poet.

God would have to be the best, the worst, and anything else in this context. No matter what you do, you cannot win there.
