59: Sonnets are ok, nothing new here — going backwards —
Let’s labor through
this ostentatious luncheon in old world pensiveness,
self-admiring praise.
I might see more, fool my brain mended by your image but your fly is open.
Stay in character.
O sure you’re freaked by what antique words
dig up and how re-inventions get composed, but we have to keep our wits —
looking backwards under whose
thumb? And am I yours?
