"To imagine you dance is to cross the highway like a child
not knowing length from breadth. And then to ask the question-
Were you woman or child-with your hand on that waist?
History, like paedophilia, has a way of turning girls into women.
For man is like Time,impatient for chests to grow monuments.
5,000 years, fifty million textbook stares-of your hand on that waist."
