Doges Tiptoeing

I have seen so many
Doges tiptoeing
in this life. They hold
pussy willows,

yes, they smile
and dream like Vlad Tepes
amidst so many
pillows. Cursing

them is trite.

I prefer their xeonophobic lakes,

their young-smelling museums.

I meet them on the highway years later,

and I am invariably younger, again.

We discuss matters of punctuation.

History is courtesy, after all.

And then I skip behind their backs.

It's not as gay as it sounds.

Really, it isn't.
