And indeed there will be time
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair
[They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”]
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin
[They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”]
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
From Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfed Prufrock, a favourite of mine

"I grow old. I grow old. Shall I wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled?"
She brushes her hair back
but
I brush it back further
exposing her to the air
she whispers 'Ok'
and before we determine what she meant
i am tasting her glistening skin
the rain drops battering on the glass
is our music
of the night
protected in this vehicle
i move your body closet to me
not because i need warmth
i just want to feel your heat
and whisper 'decadence'
I think my body's out of the closet, but I can't be sure.
Actually, I think the poem is the better for that image. A very surprising, evocative juxtaposition, perhaps indicative of emptiness, or a particularly large uterus.

That's beautiful.
I hope I have a body closet. I am searching for the knob right now. I will keep you informed on any developments.
