Alike in Dignity and Shame

James J Jackson

Two lovers from households

both alike in dignity,

can art not intertwine?

Were the sonnets

not dedicated to a man?

Is chaotic the nature

of that shock.

I stand before you,

guilty of a weak

charge,

babbling in a constant

repetitive motion.

Shakespeare, you must

be ashamed.
