I really loved this one. ..."my neurosis demands a thousand adjectives, so a table cannot just be a table, but must be a threatening or seductive table."... those lines made me laugh out loud because god it's so true sometimes, isn't it for all of us? And your other lines after that are golden as well, with a perfectly-placed end. It's a perfect description of how poetry usually differs from music, and poet from a musician... how there's an almost neurotic focus on words and details as opposed to the pure abstract expressiveness that music could achieve, all written in a way that still demonstrates the different emotional power of poetry. Very affecting piece.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
