I was tanding at the fireplace thinking of my own desire which seemed to

offer me no place to go, when I heard a little giggle, sounding like some

silly piglets playing in the mud so deep and warm. So I went and looked

around and fromhe bathroom door I found some sounds that had not come

fromhere before. So I shouted, "Come on out," and soon I saw them both

look out expressing fear and innocence at once. They said that they wee

haveing fun with something that they found someone had left behind a

basket on the floor.

"Let me see," and so I took it with a snatch that left a crooked smile

across the corner of my mouth. It was a smooth and shiny object with a

purpose and a job I recognized and was familiar with. Looking up I saw one

pair of eyes that somehow now were staring straight into the secrets of my

min. I knew at once it was the she thng, to the they and the he thing

looking back at me and my desire.

Inflamed I reached and pulled her close, but then at once I had them both

off balance and we fell upon the floor into a pile of awkard bodies, with

arms and legs and elbows caught beneath, around and in between us all.

Hastily I helped them up and said that we should soon discuss and try to

understand what they had found. BUt it was too late to do it now, but if I

tell the truth, I was confused by what I felt inside.
