it can't be true
He was as delicious as a coffee shake with chocolate whipped cream.
He was a bard who quoted Ben Johnson, Shakespeare, and Gothe.
He was Nijinkski and soared, leaped, and glidded across the floor.
Atlas , lackaday, he was a bum,
a cad,
a total louse.
It can't be true. Yes, he was fouled and smelled of dead lies, dead ends,
and no beginnings. Yes, he was the Phantom of the Night. Invisible!
