ROMAN SPRING
“The gods have no choice
but to let us live a little”
—Alex Dimitrov, “Bloodletting”
_____________
They let us love—
for comedy, you and me
today like bad actors
It’s Tennessee Williams—
Vivien Leigh & Warren Beatty
satirizing the same old game
The sexual scenes are—
ho-hum as far as gigolos are
concerned, so what’s new?
Lotte Lenya smirks and—
Ernst Thesiger simply shrugs
he’s seen it all, my dears
Useless tho, Mrs. Stone—
falls in love with Paolo but
he’s just another hustler
Where the boys undress—
for money & luxury, it’s
always Roman Spring
