1 " One Night Stand"Listen, you silk-hearted bastard,I said in the bar last night,You wear those dream clothesLike a swan out of water.Listen, you wool-feathered bastard,My name, just for the record, is Leda.I can remember pretendingThat your red silk tie is a real heartThat your raw wool suit is real fleshThat you could float beside me with a swan’s touchOf casual satisfaction.But not the swan’s blood.Waking tomorrow, I remember onlySomebody’s feathers and his wrinkled heartDraped loosely in my bed.

― Jack Spicer , One Night Stand & Other Poems
