After Visiting A Literary Society Poem by Sasha Chernyi

After Visiting A Literary Society



We are cultured: we clean our teeth,
Mouth, and both boots.
In letters, we are especially polite:
“Your most obedient servant.”

So then, why do we end
Any kind of debate—
like weak fools —
Imitating Papuans
And beating each other on the snouts?
True, it is usually through words,
But they smart just the same.
