OUT OF THE RUNNING

ridiculous


a failing body

and a contrite regret


the spirit cannot renew it

to avail of hopes and desires unrealized


the old goat still and expert on the female ass

and all of its splendid manifestations


easy now to indulge

because said goat is out of the running


and can now let that low steady heat

warm bones and sacks and memories


and all the sense-memory they contain

as if this were all to life there is


ever faintly ridiculous....
