As humble as egos, ...That rise like empires, and muscle through the subway crowds. These nylon icons!, our rehashed heroes, who proclaim their noble truths aloud. ...that rattle chains from knoll and window, as they bare their bloodied souls to 'yan', who scratch at floorboards, and gnaw at ankles, and scorch their wings upon the sun
While I didn't care for the way the poem made me feel, I did think it was very good. Thanks for reposting.
