People no longer need people–
At least proud people never say so;
Proud people nurse their successes
As hawks their fledglings do.
No greater sign of weakness now
Than to want converse beyond
What spins out of the latest contraption
Some magical inches long.
High-minded people have membership
Of rich, established brands;
Their least ejections have merit more
Than truly meritorious hands.
Yet, a cur that smiles at a friendly eye
Has more merit than most
Who frown on contact that may not yield
A success with greater boast.
