I said I will shake myself out of my clothes, + 

I will roll up my sleeves, I will spit on my hands + 

(The hands that I kissed to the sun in the lands + 

To the north, to the east, to the south, and the west + 

Of every sea that is under the sun), + 

I will go to the land that the Gentile loathes + 

As he gathers his one small wife to his breast + 

And curses and loathes till his life is done. + 

I will go to the place of the Mormon: the place + 

Where the jackass rabbit is first in the race + 

And the woodchuck chatters in meaningless glee⁠— + 

Chatters and twists all his marvelous face⁠— + 

Twists it and chatters and looks like me. + 

And I rose in the strongest strength of my strength, + 

With my breast of brass and my hair’s full length, + 

And I shook myself out of my clothes in the land + 

Of the Mormons, and stood there and kissed my hand. + 
