Unlike Marlon..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Unlike Marlon.....



how young could
marlon be
how bold and
daring
to take with him
a girl
from that far
flung
Serongan

ah, love is blind
and unreasonable
takes with it
nothing but this
whisper
these usual
sweet-nothings of
the ears

on early nights
two heartbeats
on the grass beside
the hoppers

i admire his courage
and will
for in my youth
i never fought
as i, like hamlet
took no action but
doubt.
