The form of the poem is a reversed Roman elegy (reversed as a literary form of the model's disorientation); such that the even lines, not the odd, are longer by two syllables. This poem arose out of my experience at dinner this very night. Seated at a posh restaurant, I found, in both my view and earshot, a lovely young lady who, I thought, might inspire a poem about an early Christian girl. Imagine my shock, thereafter, to hear her recounting, to her friend, some of her lesbian disappointments (all the girls to whom she was attracted were, to her dismay, straight and uninterested). At one point she did attempt to assert that she was really bisexual and not lesbian; but this soon reverted to the fully lesbian identity.
