Shakespeare

Shakespeare

Shakespeare understood the world

For centuries to come.

He summoned up its essence

Like a soldier with a drum.

Since the worm of first humanity

Crawled naked on the shore

And left behind the ocean
(Did something go before?),

The feelings and the fantasies,

The angers and the hopes

Became a human being,

One who forages and gropes

Through primeval darkness,

Til he's vanquished to a tomb

Where he lies forever.

And to all that breathe, this doom.

 

A Comment

To some, a loving person

Is nothing but a mark.

Asses drop a foal.

At midnight bitches bark.

All of it is normal,

In nature has a place.

And nothing is as ugly

As a crook's triumphant face.
