“Yet to speak of the whole world as metaphor
Is still to stick to the contents of the mind
And the desire to believe in a metaphor.
It is to stick to the nicer knowledge of
Belief, that what it believes in is not true.”

Their feelings properly, complete to tags
A box for dark men and a box for Other
Would often find the contents had been scrambled.”

And tusked like the great Cave Bear;
And you, my sweet, from head to feet,
Were gowned in your glorious hair.”
