• Straightener with James Joyce 

  He gave me no choice  I’m having a straightener with James Joyce He wrote Ulysses but he’s useless in the ring  Bad knees, a breeze has him dancing reels  Ineluctable modality of the visible is tested when I get physical, shots I drilled send him spilling over a table Half the man Leopold Bloom is,…
