Merry Go Round Glamor

A large, significant proportion of
The gay and bi community today
Is desperate for the story of the love
Of swirling Rimbaud and Verlaine to bray
Out gaily as bright carousel horses’
Tunes, twirling like calliope pipes with
Glee. This ignores such things as divorces
And other miseries. We want the myth
Of two young men caught up in love and verse
To be as beautiful as unicorns.
In this scenario nothing is worse
Than bourgeois marriage—and a gun adorns
..The tale at last! Lust replaces the bride
….And gives us a same-sex Bonnie and Clyde.
