NOT BEING GLORIOUS

“I was feeling rather seasick as the ceiling flew away.” —Procol Harum

Not being glorious,
glory was allowed to you for a short time.
I checked. Not once were you mentioned in my rhyme.

Not being glorious,
you went back to your old habits, when
the culture changed---
and life fell into bad taste, again.

I listened to that song your band wrote 
in awe one afternoon.
You stole it from Bach, didn't you?
All sunny days will be forgotten soon.

Not being glorious---
and even common things: nudity, a harmony which descends, 
poems, can be glorious---
you rally, sadly, as your song, draped in glory, ends.
