Personality

My exiguous proportion

Doesn’t obtain in those slavey

Regions of black habit

Madness shown by the frippery of our days

Instinct with teaching every last literature

They want to stone a genius in the temples

Dwarves of multimillionaire morality

The muscular strength of visible giants

Has a mediocre and criminal life

On the lam to an extreme

Hiding from this economic to-and-fro

Émigrés from the world our hopes today

Are recruited to political assemblies

Climbing the scaffold or the gallery

Simply confirms this confab

For generations in their thousands

What is striking among giants

Is especially the length of their ears.

Francis Picabia
