the bullfighter

Hemingway's
mother
dressed him in girl
clothes
at an early age.
dresses
and tights.
so he spent
most of his
later life
disproving the notion
that he was weak,
or feminine.
he took up
boxing,
and wars, bullfights.
heavy drinking
and 
love affairs. but
he never quite got over
those childhood
fears.
eventually giving up,
never
making things right.
