Whether
famous or anonymous
the elite soar from the plebeians
through their individual feats
of a moment or a lifetime
The elite number in millions
beginning at the beginning
the first leader, fire maker,
bard, farmer, baker, artist
Among the undeniably elite
reflecting marvelous achievements
Leonardo da Vinci, Barrack
Obama
Elizabeth Bishop, Willie
Nelson
Jim Thorpe, Shalane Flanagan
