Transitional
by William Carlos Williams
First he said:
It is the woman in us
That makes us write--
Let us acknowledge it--
Men would be silent.
We are not men

And be conscious
(of the two sides)
Unbent by the sensual
As befits accuracy.I then said:
Dare you make this
Your propaganda?
And he answered:
Am I not I--here?(from The Tempers, 1913)
