I suppose, as a poet, I think it would be pretty cool to see another poet write about my poetry. As it is, Iβm already honored that some of my favorite poets know my work.

If anyone is still delusional enough to believe that this is a moral government, I feel sorry them. This is what the government has always been. We still outnumber them and always will.

W H Auden (1939) responding to the rise of fascism
The final couplet is brutal and brilliant
The juxtaposition of laughing & crying, his tears are not empathy but triggers of violence
Not naming the tyrants make this feel less like history, more like prophecy
