reEEPs in half wanton, half asleep,One with a fat wide hairless face.He likes love-music that is cheap;Likes women in a crowded place;And wants to hear the noise they’re making. His heavy eyelids droop half-over,Great pouches swing beneath his eyes.He listens, thinks himself the lover,Heaves from his stomach wheezy sighs;He likes to feel his heart’s a-breaking. The music swells. His gross legs quiver.His little lips are bright with slime.The music swells. The women shiver.And all the while, in perfect time,His pendulous stomach hangs a-shaking. 30
