though I may be in dire straits
and can't hear for my own applause
your remedial distance is very well understood
and though some degree of civility must remain

and our entire bodies quiver
my charm, my wit - both become perilous and dire
for as we know, as it has been said hither;
satisfaction is the death of desire
