            There is little enough

            Left here now: wood

            Chips for a fire;

            Gravel to pile upon

            The next one to die;

            Wry comments on

            The temperature

 

            Inside and out . . .

            We've paced back 

            And forth as long

            As I can remember

            And know the final

            Result.  What comes

            Next requires 

 

            Arrogance and aplomb,

            Though no one will 

            Believe thinkers with

            That level of confidence.

            Appeal will be made

            To equality of thought

            And a democratic vote.
