Sous-Entendu
Anne Stevenson 1933

Don't think

that I don't know
that as you talk to me
the hand of your mind
is inconspicuously
taking off my stocking,
moving in resourceful blindness
up my thigh.

Don't think
that I don't know
that you know
everything I say
is a garment.

Arrogance
Walter De La Mare

I saw bleak ARROGANCE, with brows of brass,
Clad nape to sole in shimmering foil of lead,
Stark down his nose he stared; a crown of glass
Aping the rainbow, on his tilted head.
His very presence drained the vital air;
He sat erect--stone-cold, self-crucified;
On either side of him an empty chair;
And sawdust trickled from his wounded side.
