“Give me the free and poor inheritance
Of our own kind, not furniture
Of education, or the prophet’s pose,
The general cause of words, the hero’s stance,
The ambitions incommensurable with flesh,”

And words themselves stand up for him like Braille
And punch and perforate his parchment ear.”

I’d put my saw to work for you
& the wicked social tree would fall right down.”
