Ulysses

the way I did when she was down with the mumps and
her glands swollen wheres this and wheres that of course
she cant feel anything deep yet I never came properly till I
was what 22 or so it went into the wrong place always

only the usual girls nonsense and giggling that Conny
Connolly writing to her in white ink on black paper
sealed with sealingwax though she clapped when the
curtain came down because he looked so handsome then
we had Martin Harvey for breakfast dinner and supper I
thought to myself afterwards it must be real love if a man
gives up his life for her that way for nothing I suppose
there are a few men like that left its hard to believe in it
though unless it really happened to me the majority of
them with not a particle of love in their natures to find
two people like that nowadays full up of each other that
would feel the same way as you do theyre usually a bit
foolish in the head his father must have been a bit queer to
go and poison himself after her still poor old man I
suppose he felt lost shes always making love to my things
too the few old rags I have wanting to put her hair up at I
S my powder too only ruin her skin on her shes time
enough for that all her life after of course shes restless
knowing shes pretty with her lips so red a pity they wont
stay that way I was too but theres no use going to the fair
