Poet's Problem

Poet’s problem, patron’s sin, puts me in the place I’m in.
Passion’s letter, poison pen, on these two things I can depend.
You will write your number, that’s not all.

Dirty dealer’s school of thought.
An armchair for the strength you’ve lost.
The TV set’s been on all night.
You were wrong and I was right.
You will write your number on the wall.
I will not be there when you call.
I think I’ll do a line and then again…
