for David
100 years ago the anglophone world considered 'homo-
sexuals' a greater 'threat to society' than the homeless.
The grim bourgeoisie has accepted
and welcomed to its sterile bosom
the well-housed, greedily-consuming
homos - but (of course) not the harmless,
frugal, slightly-inconvenient homeless.
I am ashamed not just to be human,
not just to be an intellectual mome,
but a human homo with a comfortable home.
