William James’ Outraged Crab

William James’ Outraged Crab

With outrage, personal, it would be filled,
a sense of, probably, when, classify
a crab as a crustacean, if it could,
us, hear, it, without an apology
or an ado, and thus dispose of it.
“I am no such thing,” that, what it would say;
“I am MYSELF, MYSELF alone,” always.
