Amour fou(1)
should i cut to strips
this Nerf football
and make napalm
to baptize by fire
the Louvre and all its beauty
make sure to tune your violin
to insane passion
because a million tiny Neros
will be cast like spells
to turn the coals
in the bellows
of many private Romes
I would be arrested
if they knew how much
I wanted to kiss you
let us consult the ancient scribes
whose script itself
declared war
so that our graffiti
will mean more than our tags
and we'll sign them with wickets
inked in semen and hard liquor
let us confess to crimes
never committed
but conceal our epiphanies
as preemptive acts of martyrs
who rather than die
are reborn
in artistic jihad
let us convert the faithful
in the baths of lysergia
and teach kundalini yoga
to the wild ones
let the cynics
be tickled pink
as every contradiction
is married together
in our crucible
of crazy love
