He was born...
in the starched-white foresight,
of a hospital in a destitute country.

He was raised...
in the up-tight hindsight,
of religiously ambitious cartpulls.

He was taught...
in the midnight cat-fights,
of laced hatred and taffeta spit.

He was praised...
in the too-bright porch-light,
of piteous pulpits sighing for sad scribblers.

He was purged...
in the red-light tick bites,
of rouged bosoms and tumescent churls.


He was killed...
in the do right twilight,
of rotten vows and radical taradiddle.
This is loosely based on the life of Arthur Rimbaud with a bit of embellishment on my part.
