Coon, why did you come to this dance br with a mask on? Why not the tin man br and his rainbow girl? Why not Racine, br his hair marcelled down to his chest? br Why not come as a stomach digesting br its worms? Why you little fellow br with your ears at attention and your br nose poking up like a microphone? br You whig emblem, you woman chaser, br who do you dance over the wide lawn tonight br clanging the garbage pail like great silver bells?br br Anne Sextonbr br
