Alpha Men and the Arts
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
When far too manly in your thought, don’t dream
Of doves collecting sighs or nightingales
Amassing sobs. Your thick-thighed rugby team
Prefers fast films and books, exciting tales
By Fleming anyhow. If Dalí made
A “Thunderball” his own Surrealist thang,
That movie would have speedboatly displayed
Your friends’ poetic tastes if bang, Bang, BANG
It zipped. Don’t dream of dahlias filled with birds
Or daisies bearing angels. “Top Gun” stuff
Is what men want and not poetic words.
A big breast blonde or redhead is enough.
Don’t dream of pheasant beauty or of trunks
Of Eden trees. They will not interest hunks.
