An Illiterate Criticism of Identity Politics

I, a hyphenated Italian,

will claim Shakespeare

descended the long

Romanesque

staircase, to write

our empiric wrongs.

It's all there in the plays,

if you've a keen enough eye

to catch these things,

and his name has cachet,

while mine needs

a laureled bling.
