Michael Pruchnicki - A little guy

he smiles and turns verbal somersaults
not saying what rankles him most

about others who are not his kind
he attributes his faults to them

excessively proud of his achievements
as he looks down on us lesser beings

from a resume of imaginary heights
built on vaporous dreams

he speaks out of context
he is really a little guy
