The sweet bird of youth flew north to New York
Spreading her wings on the Hudson
A girlfriend now, an older woman who is a historian.
Try explaining that to the folks in the South
always uncomfortable with Oscar Wilde and Dorian.
Time Travel Stories, Ancient Rome and Greece -
Culture is what she needs right now
Tennessee Williams and Neil Simon,
My God, this guy's writing makes me laugh
I'm relying on your kindness, darling,
pistols, bedside!
As a model, she went to Europe
but an out-of-towner in New York
Just want to settle in here with you, dear
A good lover never leaves the field;
like Hadrian and Antoninus
in each other's arms forever.
