The Petrograd Paradigm - poem

The Petrograd Paradigm

 

He has more than a touch of Komarovsky

Loyal to nothing but his appetites

Cigars, sensualties, sins, and souls

All of them casually disposable

 

He gives more than a touch of Komarovsky

He whips the dogs, and tests the snow to know

If it blows from the east or from the west

And throws his latest values to the wolves

 

He takes more than a touch of Komarovsky

Asking the oldest question: “What’s in it for me?”
