The Curse Of Ernest Hemingway

The Curse Of Ernest Hemingway

As of late I have come to understand how
Hemingway
became the misogynist we’ve come to know.
A number of Bret Ashley's have come my way:
much more Distant than I find myself being
way more Elusive than I can stand being
and
about as Reckless as I can't help being.
I'm hardly impotent
in fact my problem is quite the reverse:
Appetites for things Baptists find perverse;
Causing infatuation inspired
gestures and anguish inspiring rifts.
Even without Ernie H's gifts
It looks as though I have got his curse.
