bonhomie inquires of certainty,
and particularity,
with calculating pride;
courtesy is officialdom
yielded by statuary
as often as knots tighten;
and such officialdom
circulates the evidence
of instability
and yet leads around it
as if it were not there,
showing civility,
discretion and due forethought
holding back fools with words'
executive flummery
