From An Audience Watching The Best Ballet Dancer Poem by RIC BASTASA

' perfect! excellent!
Dido the best ballet
dancer in this country
was once a man,
converted into a
woman by science
and adopted by us
as part of the feminine
universe.

and it does not matter
if he/she is a pervert.
she/he is an artist.
and she/he is loved
by this government
this world
this universe

this sexless universe
perverted and yet
so beautifully
crafted. it dances
and relieves us
from our inherited
woes.'

bravo! encore!
