"Writhing in his own clutch, his ancient beauty
Caught fast in the pink tips of his new beauty."

WE TWO BOYS TOGETHER CLINGING

WE two boys together clinging,
  One the other never leaving,
  Up and down the roads going–North and South excursions making,
  Power enjoying–elbows stretching–fingers clutching,
  Arm’d and fearless–eating, drinking, sleeping, loving,
  No law less than ourselves owning–sailing, soldiering, thieving,
        threatening,
  Misers, menials, priests alarming–air breathing, water drinking, on
        the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
  Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness
        chasing,
  Fulfilling our foray.

AUGUSTUS JOHN

Augustus John
Could not keep his trousers on,
Or sleep alone for so much as one night,
And so fathered bastards left and right.
