Trapped

by Charles Bukowski
 don't undress my love
you might find a mannequin:
don't undress the mannequin 
you might find
my love. 
she's long ago
forgotten me. 
she's trying on a new
hat 
and looks more the 
coquette
than ever.

she is a
child
and a mannequin
and death. 
I can't hate 
that. 
she didn't do
anything 
unusual. 
I only wanted her
to.

What Curious Dresses All Men Wear

by Delmore Schwartz
 What curious dresses all men wear!
The walker you met in a brown study,
The President smug in rotogravure,
The mannequin, the bathing beauty.

The bubble-dancer, the deep-sea diver,
The bureaucrat, the adulterer,
Hide private parts which I disclose
To those who know what a poem knows.
