Rakishly, and like a gold Beau Brummel.

With a gnome-like impudence

They thrust their little, pink tongues out

At men who sidle past.

To them, the frantic dinginess of day

Has melted to caressing restlessness

Tingling with the pride of breasts and hips.

At their side two dainty, languid girls

Playing with their suavely tangled dresses,

Touch the black crowd with unsearching eyes.
