          On an optimal mountain
     I was laid off from my job as a procurement clerk
          and goaded by that optimal hygroscopicity,
               I wrote my first (optimal!) poem called:

                    'Quiet Totem'
                         And
                         held
                         my
                         breath
                         for
                         the ap
                         plause
                         And
                         wai
                         ted
                         for
                         the
