I don't know why he's my favorite character
in The Odyssey, though Pound must have agreed
because he gives him a lot of space in Canto I.
Maybe it's because he's so much like us,
a nobody who falls off a ladder while drunk
atop Circe's roof.
We all fall off ladders. Sometimes we get drunk.
Maybe we've spend a bit of time with a Circe.
