Then the camel men cursing and grumbling
and running away, and wanting their liquor and women,
And the night-fires going out, and the lack of shelters,
And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly
And the villages dirty and charging high prices:

Picasso in Black and White is at the Guggenheim
Humanity exposed transformed transcended
Ascends a single helix as potent nucleotides
Each with its own secret, achieve apoapsis
With a Kiss (1969) and then slowly I descend.
