Poem: Second Class

Found among my memories on Facebook:

Second Class

If poetry were words that fell
together in comprehensible
patterns and rhythmic
 expectation; if shadows
 cast upon the mottled
walls were simply
shattered sunlight; daresay
 I could count myself among
the whispered few; in wonder
I shall find my words, written,
spoken only second class;
and raise, when asked for
 tender phrases, a glass of
 ancient waters...
or is it only wine?
