VAINGLORY OR PRAISE IN ONE'S OWN MOUTH

With some push   and shove   tirelessly
          or without any halt or hurry
I have won a place forever
          a little to the left of zero
Absolute zero   the roundest
most slippery   insurmountable zero
I acquired a fine place in in the other queue
          next to the emigrants expelled
from posterity   And this
          is history
