Somebody to love
In other times, I might have been
called a coveted catamite
courted by Alciabiades and his crew,
made to cavort in frocks like Nancy Drew,
but the Israelites and Ishmaelites,
and the cultists of the Nazarene
hate us more than each other, Moslem and Jew
and unwashed Frank. I say this because,
darling, I am a victim
as much as you -
subject to the same tyrannical laws
as Rimbaud, lovely teen libertine lad.
Oscar corpulent grew,
treading to an early grave,
robbed of his light in Reading,
swapping lithe bodies for bedding
made of straw and rats' droppings.
The gist is this, dear Freddie: don't be mad
just because I gave
HIV to you.
