HOFMANNSTHAL

Schnapps
for the theater guy
as mythologies
make you curious
with such Sophoclean
end up days
in a sickly dawn
trying not to accept
your own stuck up way
left this poet denuded
and feeling deluded
being with a door keeper
who unfastens your past
discovering more than
a street wise Berlin junkie
who wants another beer
despite your nobility
you share yourself
with him
by anonymous shoulders
of a double destiny
in your imbroglio of a life,
now at your writing desk
with a new play.
