Pagans - Protomartyr

Mero

Met Livy in the line

To drown the frog mouths

In the bar I already told you about

They talked of philosophical things

Like transcendence

And the opposite

Of suffering

Mero

Said he could walk

The city only

On hot fry bags, cognac bottles, and used rubbers

Livy recalled when the Giants came

I didn’t care about anything

Except warm hands in the cold air

Now I am suffering

The exact opposite

And from the balcony

The sound of Greg Baise laughing
