Peter O’Toole

As a man, don’t you ever
marvel at Peter O’Toole?

Don’t you ever watch him
do what he does

and just marvel and wish
you could be him. At how

easily his beauty comes
to him? How languid?

Don’t you ever
look at him and think,

“there’s the only man
I’d ever leave

Dean Martin for”?
