Cosmopolite now transplanted west
Hails his own hubris-la but with some grace
Regaling the j-list with cyber tests;
IIRC, some of them lack taste.
Savonarolian wisdom wastes
Gargantuan egos like [no names].
Iridescent like Prospero, he makes
Light shine on some half-assed games.
Let fall away the Apollonian mask
Evil in its concealment of his true nature
Nihilism - heh. - is his primary task
Berserking Johnny-one to nurture
A place in which we all can bask
Redolent of great books and coiture
Devoid of capitalistic acts.
