In Other Words

You’ve got a farm with fancy sheep and heifers;
You’ve got a mare all curry-combed and glossy;
Purple silk socks and purple fancy weskits—
  You’re a swell dresser.

And what has Fate, the undeceitful, slipped me?
Only a small apartment out in Harlem,
And, with a trick of turning snappy Sapphics,
  Scorn for the roughnecks.
