l.c.

and i bathe now
in the adulation
of those
who were not there

and i accept
best wishes
from persons
unfamiliar with my name

and i raise up my voice
to one who knows me
above everyone else
in the hope
that i am not found wanting

Either way is acceptable. If there are formatting properties, a Word document may be better.
