BAMBINO

BAMBINO

BAMBINO

“Vivam!” Ovid,
“Metamorphoses”

so, bambino,
you wish to discover
life’s dark secrets
    cannot wait until
you mature enough
to mesh in perfectly
with the official orthodox sanctioned
screwed up version

and so
    your childhood has been ruined
by sudden advent of
erotic imagination

in my writerly stupidity me
thinking any
        imagination in this
corporate dystopia
got to be good

and that
      now your English way
better than ever my
French, or indeed
                  my surreal Latin

now you
        the new Henry Miller
on your
    way to next
    Shakespeare
