We All Wear A Green Carnation

.


Blasé boys are we.
Exquisitely free
From the dreary and quite absurd
Modern views of the common herd
We like carefree bows, chandeliers, and stoles
We're most spirited,
Carefully filleted,
Souls ....

Pretty boys,
Witty boys
Too, too,
Too lazy to fight stagnation
Haughty boys,
Naughty boys,
All we do is to pursue sensation ....

Women say we’re too
Bored to bill and coo
We smile wearily
Its so drearily true

Faded boys
Jaded boys
Come what may
Art is our inspiration
And as we are the reason for the 90’s being gay
We all wear a green carnation ….

Bitter Sweet
