An Aperitif of Fotbal Lads

[Alex Jorgensen]

An Aperitif of Fotbal Lads

A beneficent Oscar Wilde
XY was "pretty as an adolescent girl."
He’d modeled in Paris, or
so he said, and made his night
by making others. A daft "little priss" he was
prone to wordiness, and the occasional gibe--
throaty as those sown by (Tom) Eliot.
My life’s a gentlemen’s society
XY’d say. Are you on top or a bottom?

for Robert White Creeley

        It’s as
if you‘ve taken
from where
nonsense discovers [seated in restaurant
ordering that
drinking’ll seem without pretense]
location--and awakened
from beneath, duvet-snug, one piggy
that’ll wriggle.

*

I’ve counted
each word [dear friend]
my food having
sat awhile [-21° Celsius]
and those that're missing
mean everything.
