Behind the World in Flux
In the diary of dreams are cast
The sharp pretensions
We once confided in
Silvery dignity with
Its delicate apparel
Multiplies by example
Therefore day follows day
Arrangements made by
High financial table-rappings
Bring up the ghosts of
Smith and Marx battling it out in
Their straw hats
Artists and beggars roughed up by
The state police like cows' ears
Wrenched off on a Sabbath
Hiding liars in the tall sedge
Society is a lagoon where
Monarchs and constitutions
Drown in manifest utility.
Ecclesiastes 10:8
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it;
and whoso breaketh an hedge,
a serpent shall bite him.
