| Holy fool |
| The poet is paid to perceive. People are the canvas He paints with his pen; A portable conscience � Holy fool � To be honoured, and sheltered, and jeered. Take heed: For the nib bites deep. St. Basil once killed a man by sorcery. Glyphs of power In full view � Once written, Word cannot be erased. |
