write about what you do not know


trapped by Jesuits in a canonical paedophilia
curious and curiouser/extricating from role models
opera,personality ballet,memoirs
to better illuminate the tortured texts of times past
Dante here.Milton,too.Homer and Tennyson strew
epics domestic with journeys fantastic/until
the clash of sex and violence becomes midnight crossroads
and each personal saga reflects multiple mirrors
each with a depth far beneath skin surfaces
Soap Operas live here.Sentimentalists.Ophra Winfrey.
Teardrops on National Televangelicalism.Revelations!
The book of your own skin is read by many eyes
You name and number them as chapters(but they lie)
What folk want are tales personal.Hot gossip headlines
What we are and what we sell betray the poems that we tell..
