Hyperion

Hyperion,
beautiful name,
I think I read it
in Shakespeare or a poem.
He was probably some sort of
Greek god
with a drink problem
and a hunger for women.
That’s the thing
about Greek gods
they just did
what they wanted.
Untroubled by my Catholic conscience
and the need to be good
they just had a good time
appearing in lines
of Shakespeare and poetry
and laughing at all my endless anxieties.
