Women  Or they
  should be  should be
  pedestals  little horses
  moving  those wooden
  pedestals  sweet
  moving  oldfashioned
  to the  painted
  motions  rocking
  of men  horses


  the gladdest things in the toyroom


  The  feelingly
  pegs  and then
  of their  unfeelingly
  ears  To be
  so familiar  joyfully
  and dear  ridden
  to the trusting  rockingly
  fists  ridden until
  To be chafed  the restored


egos dismount and the legs stride away


Immobile  willing
  sweetlipped  to be set
  sturdy  into motion
  and smiling  Women
  women  should be
  should always  pedestals
  be waiting  to men
