One OвАЩClock at Night + 

Though you had never possessed me + 

I had belonged to you since the beginning of time + 

And sleepily I sat on your chair beside you + 

Leaning against your shoulder + 

And your careless arm across my back gesticulated + 

As your indisputable male voice + 

roared + 

Through my brain and my body + 

Arguing dynamic decomposition + 

Of which I was understanding nothing + 

Sleepily + 

And the only less male voice of your brother pugilist of the intellect + 

Boomed + 

as it seemed to me + 

so sleepy + 

Across an interval of a thousand miles + 

An interim of a thousand years + 

But you who make more noise than any man in the world when you clear your throat + 

Deafening + 

woke me + 

And I caught the thread of the argument + 

Immediately assuming my personal mental attitude + 

And ceased to be a woman + 

Beautiful half-hour of being a mere woman + 

The animal woman + 

Understanding nothing of man + 

But mastery + 

and the security of imparted physical heat + 

Indifferent to cerebral gymnastics + 

Or regarding them as the self-indulgent play of children + 

Or the thunder of alien gods + 

But you woke me up + 

Anyhow + 

who am I that I should criticize your theories of plastic velocity + 

вАЬLet us go home + 

she is tired + 

and wants to go to bed.вАЭ + 
