Everybody's superior
To everybody
Til the tv celeb
Arrives
Ascendancy trades
Between floors
Between times
On one-way conveyances
Never down
But now
Clacking prams
And HIM
HIS people
Scrabbling to the rostrum
Low-heeled and gulping
Piped air
Confers all that HE
Intended
Vastness of place and
Order
The supremacy of Man
Something about the virute
Of humility
