[bodytext] => The seasons are for women; Surnames are for men. With a tooth-nail snarl you hear either Corrode at itching hem. The wind is tempest up her skirt, The butterfly genteel, Yet soaps and stones and potpourris Remonstrate work of factories; She'll find women made them all of leaves Fit to her fingerprint. But the wind Carries word of hits--Gallagher, Palmer, Lundberg; Man's blood under the collar Is a prescribing mechanism. The geodes of a woman's world Pale to countless words, Neologisms winged like bats That lack the abdomens to churn. He'll take grunts for plums And groins for coins And gaffaw for a saw; He doesn't need to whip the world Into a meringue skirt. His eye is marbled just enough To have the cake adieu, And then it rotates-- Eat anew.
