Echelon

Echelon

Coveted, surely denied,

Residency within 

Inner sanctum 

Of inimitables

Invalidated,

I took refuge

Unto my circle 

Of inner me ’n myself 

Unlike Venn’s these

Sanctum and circle

Neither intersect

Nor they nestle.

Tiered yes, parallel

They will stand

 Tall and erect

Alone perhaps,

I am afforded

A sense of self
