And I think one way or perhaps two; it doesn’t matter // as long as one can slip by, and easily // into the questioning but not miasmal dark. // Look, here is a stance--- // shall you cover it, cape it? I // don’t care he said, going down all those stairs // makes a boy of you... //

  -- John Ashbery, from "From Estuaries, from Casinos" (Hotel Lautréamont 1992)
