Let us go then, youse and I…

Do I dare
Distoib the universe?

In the room the women come and go,
Talking of Larry, Curly, Moe…

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons…
You knucklehead! That’s not coffee—it’s gunpowder!

And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

The yellow fog…
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
Zzzzz—mimimimimimi—zzzzz—mimimimimimi…

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us—
Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop!
—and we drown.
