Agrian Elegies

I

Sons of great sorcerers become lizards,
   tennis clothes suit them well
      while jogging along the republic president.

My father gave me a great college!
     A new Cadillac as well
and long-legged daughters of East
      and the odor of mating deer!

I’ll be smiling
   I’ll be happy
      when they bring me back, dead,
            from Vietnam
   from Haiti
      from Africa
         from the Balkans.


My father will proudly stand
   by the coffin
      and with joyful eyes
         receive condolences
            from the president
               ministers
                  party leaders.
