A Villanelle
I live a stranger in my life
a villanelle I cannot escape
with a parody in every line
a requiem mass I celebrate
as my annual rite of passage
I live a stranger in my life
every year I suffer a deja vu
of my posthumous life
with a parody in every line
my dreams run unabated
in my celluloid brain
I live a stranger in my life
I cannot close my eyes
and the script repeats over
with a parody in every line
but there are no shackles
and yet there is no escape
I live a stranger in my life
with a parody in every line
