DISCOVERED AT HEART
TO BE A SIMPLE MAN
Yes, that's me. Inglorious and
found at heart to be. Satisfied
with where I'm going, able to
shuffle off at will, determined
still not to be seen. Back at work
and liking it. Seated at a miser's
desk and locked in at the knees.
-
Nothing much more controverted
than that. List of friends - meaningless
if at all; acquainted with doctors, none.
Able to speak with the bigwigs and
kings - 'fraid not and I'm not besot.
By these means, even I, to use an
Orwell phrase, keep the Aspidistra
flying, or at least elevated, or at least
at large. Elated. A simple man at heart.
