Lucent Thoughts

Some … 
First and second grade 
Professors 
Put their hands 
On the lexical dictionary 
To harvest their oath 
For TO BE OR NOT TO BE 
Puzzle. 
The time Balzac 
Is resting his feet 
In a hot and salty water. 
Others are walking in the same 
Mainstream 
In wonder, 
Are there any human connections 
Between the professors, 
First grade, 
Second grade, 
The lexical system, 
The price and the benefits 
Of such dictionary? 
Balzac is still enjoying the warmth 
Of his feet. 
I am still questioning 
The oath.
