  • Yet one feels almost justified still to acknowledge

    the deeper reflection of, albeit hackneyed,

    the Human Condition in Nature (reduced

    as she is from the nympho once over-extolled

    for ad-nauseum cyclic fecundity, to

    today's stripped-bare and thorny old sod half-heartedly

    whorily pouting a couple of blackening nipples).

    - Peter Reading, Raspberrying, from For the Municipality's Elderly, 1974
