constantly drunk in thrace

i wish i were an alcibiades
a general of full powers
more meteor than man
no loyalties that trap
neither oligarch nor democrat
born fabulous and rich,
discipled by socratic thought
yet free from staid philosophy

citizen of the unknown world
lord of no one land
not athens, not sparta, not persia or thebes
no constraint nor mandate binds
like such that plagued poor pericles

to be alcibiades and laugh
as laconic leonidas would
when came the assassins in the end.
alone, an undefended man
by malignant arrows erased;
perhaps a warlord's last wish then
only to be young and full again
and constantly drunk in thrace


haahahahhaha ahahhahahahahahhahaha
