“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,

to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”

trunk by trunk through its sulphurous walls,
tile by tile like a men’s urinal,
slipping through
like somebody else’s package.”
