PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

To my trust (for to trust I was ingrained)

the older students did verbal violence,

telling me Eliot's East Coker contained

words to The Sound of Silence

(Paul Simon;s lyrics, but I was naive,

easy to convince and deceive).

I searched East Coker long, and in vain,

to their amused, and very senior, disdain.

I have seen how time disburses

upon them the heavy burdens they bear.

Kept, at their wish, too far aloof to care,

I neither hear nor join their plaintive refrain

as I write and post my verses.
