PS ( Chidi)
The final version of the first verse of that lyric to published poem reads
"I was always working' steady
But I never called it art
I was funding my depression
Meeting Jesus reading Marx
Sure It failed my little fire
But it's bright the dying spark
Go tell the young Messiah
What happens to the heart "
It's featured as the very first poem in this ( as everything else) very autobiographical anthology
