reflecting on a line by Apollinaire
as amended by James Brook


you are weary of this ancient world at last
―GA
and the modern one, too
―JB

If you are reasonably
comfortable
and have
traveled abroad
you have
probably crouched
at the gates
of some ancient wonder
after closing
time and had
a few beers with some
incredibly stupid Australians
