Moving towards

            the multiplication

                        of fields

The respectful

            population of his

                        surroundings by himself

His tokens

            understood

                        his work done

By others without bidding

            his newest thoughts

                        read in advance

He took to talking

            at length

                        and like

Any old man

            walking downstairs

                        three steps

And a pause

            still talking

                        pleased to be

Talking and

            still making it

                        downstairs.
