pre-modernist
By j-ay rose •
cicerone! oh -
cicerone tell me,
how her berated brow will lift?
did her heroes
smite all that hector?
for what?
was it
hedonic idealism, dear cicerone?
pretty was not
their fashion nor style
with idiocy
ceaselessly they defile
their lips and mouths
heckle, incessantly
they knew better
that... fingertip
isn’t quite right
when the fingertip
is not your own
