My fine chin

It is a word. Patience.

When I see, you all, falling a million times a day

I cannot compete, all the way.

It is a white rabbit.

I’ve got an heritage, you won’t dream of.

My hands are no property, anyway.

I had a teacher. He returned me, number 4, for poetry.

My body is sensitive, the spirit is smooth

and the soul is happy.

History has been written but not by the last

letter of humanity.

He’s watching, you’d better be careful.
