Tuesday Sonnet: Huzzah!


from the ABC set Sonnets

Scared of me? You bet! I've seen your tragic
Castles and the holes beneath your cuirass.
Paint me stupid – I am full of magic,
Bright like stuff of dreams, as warm and true as
Fucking, you can read me front to back,
I’m heavy metal in the rainstorm, list all
Your best graduates – they can’t teach me jack!
Are you deaf? Dionysus blew the whistle
In the court and Sin has rung the bell!
Huzzah motherfuckers! I have bridled
Language and I'm riding it to hell,
Follow me! If you have fought or idled,
Danced in twilight, flirted, wept or sinned,
Follow me, for I've become the wind!
