I may not be as clear

as the blue water in a jug

but I still have an A-1

wristwatch and two gold rings,

one for the right and one

for the left.

I don't have the precise

agility of a wind-borne eagle

but my doubt is surer

and always controlled.

People see me trembling

but there's no trouble

and no action menacing

their stale tranquility.
