{se} only modifies the first thing on the right that constitutes a
valid selbri, which would be {na'e frili}. Thus, your haiku
accidentally means "Cars eat cats uneasily, I believe," which is even
funnier :) To fix this, you'd need to move the {se} directly before
{citka}. If meter weren't important, you could use a {ke} bracket like
this to make {se} scope over the whole tanru: {se ke na'e frili
citka}.
