ADVICE TO A STREET-PAVEMENT
Lacerated grey has bittenInto your shapeless humility.Little episodes of rovingStrew their hieroglyphics on your muteness.Life has given you heavy stainsLike an ointment growing stale.Endless feet tap over youWith a maniac insistence.O unresisting street-pavement,Keep your passive insolenceAt the dwarfs who scorn you with their feet.Only one who lies upon his backCan disregard the stars.

Keep your passive insolence
At the dwarfs who scorn you with their feet.
Only one who lies upon his back
Can disregard the stars.
