Sunburnt in my traitor cage
the occupying army made
I cursed the family radio
World War II had listened to.
But in pellucid moments
I liked that pissant cage
where they watched me write my Cantos
waiting for my prison fate
and even in the outdoor loo
my guard of honor noticed,
holding his proboscis,
Pestilentia Manufacta
I scribbled on some arsewipe
squatting in the Pisan sun
making jurisprudence, noses
and perhaps the hangman wait.
