Tiresome Passions

[Todd]

Outside of one minor nit: I would consider cutting "one's fellows"

This had a great conversational quality to it.

I absolutely love the line break on Line 3 and this of course:

I could be the last of the long dead Medici,
that Florentine pig, with his fruit baskets and
chamber pots, parades of lush young men,
muscly and greased and dancing like girls
about his monstrous master bed. That glorious
faggot, he seized the day and cherished it.

Best,

Todd
