Irritated
When I have heard a small talk
about great men, successful persons
I go to my working table;
Quietly to light my two candles;
then quoting what was said;
Underline what one remarked
and put aside some unimportant
Of what someone-else replied.
They spoke lightly of my friends,
for shallow conversational ends,
How can they use such names
mumble, and be not humble?
I have sat silent;
Actually none of my business but
get angry at what they uttered
What these can only a small talk
