Pansies (Lawrence)/To Be Superior

​
TO BE SUPERIOR
How nice it is to be superior!
Because really, it's no use pretending, one is superior, isn't one?
I mean people like you and me.—

Quite! I quite agree.
The trouble is, everybody thinks they're just as superior
as we are; just as superior.—

That's what's so boring! people are so boring.
But they can't really think it, do you think?
At the bottom, they must know we are really superior
don't you think?
don't you think, really, they know we're their superiors?—

I couldn't say.
I've never got to the bottom of superiority.
I should like to.
