/// Beau Brummell’s new fashion for France:
Dove-gray velvet jacket and pants,
a jaune-ty bandanna
(the hue of banana),
and a vest that he purchased in Nantes.
/// He hoped for some foreign romance,
but femmes wouldn’t give him a chance.
Each mademoiselle
would bid him farewell
and glance at him slightly askance.
/// The assumption they came to espouse
was: no hetero male could arouse
such strong feelings of lust
in their gay male friends just
by the arching of well-tended brows.
