*It’d be like a holiday to think of History making sense*
like (as in the case of) the Etruscans
(of Tarquin’s Ravenous Pride)
fingering their faience beads and beliefs: in womanly
libido and the bodily equality of sexes, O mi Chianti, slavery,
the physical persistence of the soul in the after-life,
its languorous couches hung with dangling, attainable grapes,
and bathroom accessories
placating the restless
sleep-walking dead
with hungry gossip and the latest strigils and loofahs
Volscian Commissions on affordable Housing for Ancestral Profiles
while the squaring Romans drilled in the distant hills.
