Salutation by Ezra Pound

/ The Accidental Poet

O generation of the thoroughly smug
And thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
And heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
And do not even own clothing.
