Roman Empire Revisited
Crimson
and
Velvet Semen
All a sort of
Ridiculousness now,
without treasure
Trails,
Bodies of Evidence
And enough tomfoolery
to induce gluttonous
Indulgence.
And Caligula
would be proud, yes.
But not without
the papyrus reeds
swaying,
Dying.
The sink is full of
Poison water.
And I at least
with try and
Cheat death
With a single
Drink.
