Men in the Off Hours
She ran from lamppost to lamppost, the wind slammed.Trotsky reviewed her in and an unofficial Communist Party resolution banned her poetry {1925}.She didn't notice, didn't know what a Communist Party was in those days.Fog choked the city.Russia's great poets were all about 35 years olScraggly trees wandered by the canal in dim sun.

Men in the Off Hours
In myth, women's boundaries are pliant, porous, mutable. Her power to control them is inadequate, her concern for them unreliable. Deformation attends her. She swells, she shrinks, she leaks, she is penetrated, she suffers metamorphoses. The women of mythology regularly lose their form in monstrosity.
