everybody knows that Hemingway
was in Paris
just the other day,
with the lost generation and Ezra Pound,
marveling over all they had lost
but suddenly found.
Gertrude Stein and James Joyce and Scott, the significant others,
some married,
often with lovers
losing their innocence
like Papa!
who should have known better but lied:
he went to go get her instead of the train
so, surrendered his own wife
long years before his took his own life.
and long before The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer
and he the Award of Merit,
and he didn't even need to share it.
