To Caesar
i came to call it
Vox Dei
this ability
to write in a rhythm
that reprograms
the minds of anyone
and everyone
who reads
such lines
i enthral it
suggestion
cum mesmerism
cum semantic alchemy
blended in prose or poetry
in a thousand infinitesimal
symmetries
that work insidiously
to make the world
bend
to my will
people are obedient
people are malleable
to me
like words
you are
to me
like fatted words
plucked
and stuffed
and fit for a centrepiece
you know what i want
you always did
the march of ides
i’d
id
