To these authors

Oscar Wilde,
I am most grateful
for all that you have written.
I read and I feel
how you felt while you wrote
the picture of Dorian grey,
the importance of being Ernest,
the soul of man under socialism—
how you lent your voice
to say truths the world wouldn’t
dare listen to at the time.
When I meet you Dorian (And I intend to),
i will tell you how it feels
to have lived like you did
in the 21st century.
