William Needs an Intervention
Cf.
Shakespeare, Sonnet 42
Will,
we need to talk:
this is
all your grief
Your
friend and your lover aren’t grieving at all
I’ve
seen them swanning around The Swan in Southwark
Catching
Pembroke’s Men in The Isle of Dogs
They
saw your Julius Caesar here at the Globe
But
were mostly canoodling high up in the back row
I
cannot imagine they were admiring your wonderful verse
Grieving
over the deaths of Romans, or thinking of you
Give
over your hoping, your moping, your sighing, your wishing -
