>drab undershorts of his are full to bursting with need 
>humorlessly, worldly to use their innocence, to write on 
>them new words of himself, his own brown Realpolitik 
>dreams, some psychic prostate ever in aching love 
>promised, ah hinted but till now . . . how seductively 
>they lie ranked in their iron bedsteads, their virginal 
>sheets, the darlings so artlessly erotic. . . .”
