Sorry, this really is a waste of your time, but I liked this and it 
made me think of B'n'S so...


A Dark Portrait
---------------

She always said "tu" in such a way

as if she wanted to sleep with you

or had just had

            a most passionate 
            
                           orgasm
                           
And she tutoyed everyone

But she

      was really like Nora in Nightwood
      
    long-gaited and restless as a mare
    
And coursed the cafes

            through revolving doors and nights
            
    looking for the lover
    
                who would never satisfy her
                
And when she grew old

                     slept among horses
                     
                                  
                              - Lawrence Ferlinghetti, 1984
                                  

cheers
