Reactional
Night drops tristfully
Over the nasturtia
In Manlius Silico’s garden.
The moon, wandering about
En deshabille,
Fawns on th’adulterous stars.
Come, Manumbra,
Come, I will explain to you
The abstruse technicalities
Of the Greek and Roman systems
Of Colonization.
Quien Sabe? Those Spaniards
Were gay chaps -
A little impalpable, but, there!
I think they do this stuff much better
In France.
Damn!
I think it’s time we fetched our bicycles
From the shed.
I’ll translate Propertius to you as we go.
JB Morton parodies Ezra Pound, via George Simmers and 3:AM.
