Starving Aesthete

The Starving Aesthete
Oh, transport! I am listening to Strauss!
How can I think right now of sucking blood?
That’s the preoccupation of a louse.
Oh, transport! I am listening to Strauss!
Music’s the only fluid in the house
For me! Raised high above mere graveyard mud—
Oh, transport! – I am listening to Strauss.
How can I think right now of sucking blood?
–Tom Riley
