done because we are too menny


I walk in wonderment
along seashores, streets, and
city boulevards;
among crowds at sporting or theatrical events
puzzling how it is
that the minds and hearts and souls
of the people I there see
are not asweep with the awareness
that Sue,
in Jude the Obscure,
contained more sexual longing
than had
any previous character
in world literature.
