William Carlos Williams

First he said:
It is the woman in us
That makes us write-
Let us acknowledge it-
Man would be silent.
We are not men
Therefore we can speak
And be conscious
(of the two sides)
Unbent by the sensual
As befits accuracy.

I then said:
Dare you make this
Your propaganda?

And he answered:
Am I not I-here?
