You should do
something,
old atman,
about
your lofty
language.
Honest men
don't talk like that.
How is one
who smells
under the armpits
to get a word in?
Sternness goes
with the territory,
ur-authentic,
but who's going
to listen to you
if you pontificate
like Sigismund,
gray, reproachful:
" I am King
of the Romans
and above grammar! "
