THIS LEMUR

is all of 1/16th of an inch high
and is called THE REPOSER

and you will find it lounging easily
at the doorway to home
the never open never shutting door

of the infra-slim
in which Ah Q reigns supreme
as long as you never mention the word
"lamp" or "ringworm"

Ah Q is foremost
and maybe Formosan
and we will tell the facts
ONE STEP AT A TIME
(in sheering assumpsit)

to see our folded arms
our folded raiments
no victory
no defeat

avalanche!
take me with you
on your slipstick!
