Atlantic City Waiter
WITH subtle poise he grips his trayOf delicate things to eat;Choice viands to their mouths half way,The ladies watch his feetGo carving dexterous avenuesThrough sly intricacies;Ten thousand years on jungle cluesAlone shaped feet like these.For him to be humble who is proudNeeds colder artifice;Though half his pride is disavowed,In vain the sacrifice.Sheer through his acquiescent maskOf bland gentility,The jungle flames like a copper caskSet where the sun strikes free.
