They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,

The mania of owning things.

Not one is kneel to another, nor to his kind that

Lived thousands of years ago,

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

They bring me token of myself, they evince

Them plainly in their possession

I wonder where they get those tokens,

Did I pass that way huge times ago and negligently drop them?
