[Ezekiel 23:2-11]
Hard to choose, to choose between them:
Tramps on a night out, out of season
Bare legs and arms at the taxi stand
Shoes in hand, cold kerb to freeze on

Tramps on a night out, out of season
Out of body and out of mind
Out of dark and into reason
Get them home to stumble in
And toss their knickers in the bin
Demons loom then melt away

Guilty Eros had his day
Hands two sad souls to Agápē
