Highnesses and Majesties

 Highnesses and majesties –

you’ll have to train to be a thief --

to steal, secrete away from everyone

who wants to kneel to you your former

certainty that you were who you used to be --

a random dollop of humanity:

suspend the necessary disbelief

to carry out the grand delusive

strategies of monarchy.

Are you Your Grace?

Is that your face?

You’ll have to sink

into the fizz,

and think

it is.
