By Jack Joseph Smith

She is cold At first- she watches; A cAt- of couse- intense- strange- sLiNky; then polite-not yet charming- Giving time - LiKE "would you LiKE to go to the bathroom, and then I'll wash you?" I question then I Know while My bowels spill richly All the poison of the night, When After Minutes of passing And pickful I can believe in wonder when she lays down. Her face changes All the time - I Know it is beautiful - My eyes Are laid on her - she feeds me fruit she never had to blow--

The speaker moves from unease into fascination, watching a woman become strange, beautiful, and almost ritualized in intimate attention.

The page is physically visceral and emotionally unstable at the same time. The body reacts with anxiety and poison, yet the gaze keeps deepening into wonder as the woman's face changes and settles. It reads as a scene of attraction shaped less by control than by surrender to bewilderment.

A woman is observed shifting through registers: 'cold At first', 'A cAt- of couse- intense- strange- sLiNky', then 'polite-not yet charming-'. Her care is unsqueamishly bodily - the offer to 'go to the bathroom, and then I'll wash you' while 'My bowels spill richly All the poison of the night' - yet the gaze keeps tipping into wonder, 'when she lays down. Her face changes All the time'. It ends on nourishment without transaction: 'she feeds me fruit she never had to blow--'. Source forms 'A cAt', 'couse', 'sLiNky', 'pickful' preserved.
