    All those girls
    who wore the red shoes,
    each boarded a train that would not stop.
    Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop.
    They all danced like trout on the hook.
    They were played with.

    Would lift her Eyes up to the Ceiling,
    And heave her Bosom unaware
    For neighb’ring Beaux to see it bare.

    For all of him dead and
    gone and vanished from us, and all of him which
    clings to our speech black god of our time.
