The Artists' And Models' Ball

For Frank Shepherd

Wonders do not confuse. We call them that And close the matter there. But common things Surprise us. They accept the names we give With calm, and keep them. Easy-breathing then We brave our next small business. Well, behind Our backs they alter. How were we to know.

From The Bean Eaters (1960)
