Sonnet: The Greco-Roman World Unfurled
by John Hawkins
.
The past's an embarrassment of riches,
filled with minotaurs and angels with clews,
info to give or take away the blues,
and hells of fire, whispered fragile wishes --
in short, a plastic cornucopia
without real shape or substance, and yet, full
of teeming consciousness, an underpull
wave of dysfunctional utopia.
Yesterday I read that Cleopatra
was really Greek, meaning when she frenched Mark
Antony, tongue deep in his Roman cheek,
ancient worlds collided -- kama sutra!
We owe much to the Greco-Roman world:
Its history unctuous and unfurled.
