Notes About The Poem

 

The line "In the background the band plays"* Refers to the Hairband White Lion

 

White Lion

The long flowing white mane
Reminiscent of a satin bridal train
Fierce blue eyes
Watching the plain, a pantherine spy
The king of beasts
The felidae feasts
Daniel's cell mate
Still the beauty of that mane
Flowing white into space
In the background the band plays*
Seducing each estrus lioness 
a king's queen's compliance
It's all about the mane
So fly that freak flag
