Snyder, Gary. After the Chinese. In : Combustion ; no 7 (Aug. 1958).
She looked like a fairy
All dressed in shaky cheesecloth,
And ran off with a fairy poet
Back to town. Her hair
Was black as a mud-snail's bowels
Her skin was like chilled grease.
My sleeves are sopping wet
From crying. My white hair scraggly
And my eyes all red. Pour another
Cup of wine for this poor
Bureaucrat stuck out in the sticks.
