At a crossroads we write the left Unburdened and unabashed, we are felt! As a clumsy hand balancing tarnished copper But we think it brass and boldly she calls "Sit for this metallic weight is straining!" On words we wonder, curious what lies behind. The ground at our zenith, no wonder We mislabel worms as stars, praise them great, Quaking creeks sound as ants in our clogged ears. "Uncork your wines, fellows; age more yields grey Though we feel it golden."
