I like to imagine Ganymede,
famed wine-bearer of the pantheon,
to be a skilled bartender
despite his youthful naivete
Perhaps his wish is,
using his nightly tips,
to care for his father
Oh World! Oh World!Be either cruel or just,Only promise-Care oh World!Care for my struggle to the lastAnd any other world so vitalNot to compare if onlyOh world-Care me to my last!
I write because I'm in love.
I am in love.
I repeat it to myself daily,
An ecstasy of Romantic caliber,
A revelry of Classical Dionysian cultics.
