BEHAVING

 

In my years under his care did Leonard Fliedner,

My high school principal, exchange twenty words with me?

I doubt it. Still, death has left him a degree of authority

So when I've advance notice that he's been cast

In one of my dreams I check to see that my cuffs

Aren't ragged and warn my unruly prepositions

To behave and not flaunt and fleer themselves

At the end of every other sentence.
