The ANES

They are virtuous
They are sad
Their grace is made of abandonment
They have the long hair of the artists
Who live like them, Thistles
Their solitary existence
Lack of glory and pageantry
Frustrated and Yahoos, no mystery
Philosopher without embarrassment
They chuckle of our skulls tunes
Taking as it comes
They confess that they are donkeys
We do not dare do the same. And this is not McDonald that would tell us the opposite...
