Foolish

Behold a rat who thinks himself a cat Imagine him whirr, steals in a flash Him alone his peacock, his ego alone to fan Foolish is he in his strait-jacket box Buccal cavity sealed, night soil man’s feed Droppings full dripping all over Infantile forever never to grow Do you know you? Conquer you, never grown man Conquer your sly ludicrous pride You carry more than short You’re your greatest enemy Insecurity, self-loathing, Unusual strength, glassed demure Suffices not for your mind wondering sheets Only films separate your travel in circus
