Dear Romeo America
Dear, Romeo America,

Nestled up all sweetly to wed
Romance me with smiles of persuasion
Gently to bed roughly leaving
Ha to think that- imagine that this is it.
It has come to this improbable thing
Here we are flesh in the mist of it,
This astounding glittering Ascendancy!

Dear, Rome' please beseech me a kingly
vision
of that scintillating dream… A golden
age unseen!
Sightless witnesses to the crystal plane
of opulence that is my young lover.

Let it be a burning Sear on the street-
wise eyes of a hundred lesser cites
shackled in shame.
For ancestral supremacy for
pleading a case in felonmonious
malaised madness to destroy!
Dear Rome, don't you remember me?
