Looking for elders
      who can tell the story calmly:
No;
No value laid on such action.
However, subterranean itch-scratchings 'neath
      harangues of prettiness—
Such niceties to score and play;
Talk
      of propriety.

As for me, hard enough, the accelerating years
      trying to tell the story calmly:
Landscape now and then obscured by beliefs that blow through
      and change like clouds.
