Enter Colossus

About this time

in an Alpine

summer resort

The male fruit

of a Celtic couple

is baptized

Colossus

And the first time

that ever he sits up

devouring his pap

It is as if a pillar of iron

erects him

in place of a spine

And the first time

he opens his eyes

wittinglyвБ†вАФ

вАЩTis like an eagle

soaring on the sun

and the first time

he communes within himself

he decides

All words are lies

His gracious little ladyвБ†вАФbird

of a mamma

dresses him in velvet suits

of gentian blue

determined she will do

her best to keep him

a little gentleman

like his ancestors

even

if he does not live in

London

Her idea of rearing a son

is showing him to everyone

in the drawingвБ†вАФroom

for them to praise him

which idea is rather distorted

by the little one

throwing the teaвБ†вАФpot

at M Follilot

because her top-knot

displeases him so

And who

would care to call at

any house

on finding the young master in the hall

pissing into our reverend pastorвАЩs hat?

He like so many of us

has his own sense of fun

and when his governess offers him a bun

вАЬBring me a bifsteek de femme

вАФ

вАФ

and under done!вАЭ

These women run

in all directions

when he appears

This palpable

evidence of his motherвАЩs

unfortunately

having given birth to a criminal

вАФ

вАФ

вАФ

вАФ

Postures of a monster

coincident

with the Christian

introspection

of Ova
