THE ******* TOWERS OF ILLIUM

"Is this the face that launched...."
the poet asks not knowing how

it all turned out
in the end.

And yes, this is the face that
ate a thousand chips.

No, they don't
tell you that bit.

Anyway, had an affair
with Troy( my toy boy )

and somehow it
all went wrong.

Listen now to Odyssey  sing
"If you're looking for a way out."

Plead with the ghost of
each former lover:

"Make me immortal with
a kiss...heaven is in your lips!"

Then cry myself to sleep
with a furry hot water bottle.
