Alone and in a circumstance

Alone and in a Circumstance
Reluctant to be told
A spider on my reticence
deliberately • determinately • impertinentlyAssiduously crawled

And so much more at Home than I
Immediately grew
I felt myselfthe a visitor
Andhastily hurriedly withdrew -

Revisiting my late abode
with articles of claim
I found it quietly assumed
foras a Gymnasium
Where Tax asleep and Title off
ThePeasants inmates of the Air
Perpetualcomplacence presumption took
As each wereonly • lawful special Heir -
If any strike me on the street
I can return the Blow -
If anyseize take my property
According to the Law
The Statute is my Learned friend
But what redress can be
For an offence notanywhere here nor there
So not in Equity -
That Larceny of time and mind
The marrow of the Day
By spider, or forbid it Lord
That I should specify -
