This piece needs little explanation. I still consider it a draft, and I'm more comfortable with the idea than the execution. At one time, I began collecting “rejected verses” (“Heavy thighs;/Lumpy knees.”; “Pretty face;/Cigarette.”), but I decided not to pursue it. (Written April 1997, revised March 2001.)
