'Too Many Poets'

Paler Band of Fools (Faux King About)


 

 

Key to authors' pseudonyms

borrowed strings
speed broken wings.
hammered keys
plead bended knees.
bright golden selves arose.

a paler band of fools
than this
can not be found
at a whore's remiss.

strangled words
meet fourths and thirds.
the cast-off suits
of King Canutes
lie homebound indisposed.

a paler band of fools
than this
can not be found
at a whore's remiss.

Shakespeare is dead,
no one told him.
No one knows why
no one knows
hammered keys
plead bended knees,
bright golden selves arose.

a paler band of fools
than this
can not be found
at a whore's remiss.
a paler band of fools
than this
can not be found
at a whore's remiss.
