The title of “constantly risking absurdity” implies that the poet is always in danger of:
a. physical injury.
b. appearing foolish.
c. offending his audience.
d. making very little money.

B. appearing foolish.

If a person says that he is risking "absurdity," it means that he is at risk of appearing foolish. To describe something as absurd is another way of referring to something that is foolish, silly, or nonsensical. It also describes something that makes no sense under current assumptions.
