Rags

“Now I am in the public house and lean upon the wall,
So come in rags or come in silk, in cloak or country shawl,
And come with learned lovers or with what men you may
For I can put the whole lot down, and all I have to say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”

Does to Rags the Heavens tear.”

of flesh slipped through the abortionist’s knife
you snake thing....”
