Too Late
__________________
“Everything
is too late”
—Paul Bowles
“Elegy,” Thicket
of Spring: 1926-1969
It’s much too late—
Ahmos ZuBolton is dead
My black poet friend
It’s the same with—
Handsome young Benjie Fontaine
Big Easy lover
Everything ends up—
Unbecomingly tardy
If you wait too long
Copasetically—
Cocky with that male flaw
Lost comeliness
It’s always too late—
Unbecomingly tres chic
When it comes to love
