I, for one, believe that act was dishonorable---
dismissing the good. gray Poet from his minor post;
a man far better than you ever were, who was with Poetry most
(and to the brim, as you were with your own self) full;
you, Mister Secretary Harlan of the Interior,
and among your entire staff the worst inferior.
ENVOI (to the reader):
I would like to ask this of J-Har's
soul: "Have you ever once looked up and enjoyed
"a late evening or early morning full of stars,
"or would that, also, have caused you to be annoyed?"
