Question: Today?
Answer: "The doors open/and the heat undoes itself,/everyone undoes himself,/everyone walks naked./Two of them walk on the table./They are not afraid of God's displeasure./They will have no truck with the angel/who hoots from the fog horn/and throws the ocean into the rocks outside./One of them covers the bedstead./One of them winds round the bedpost/and both of them beat on the floor./"
From the poem, "In the Beach House" in The Complete Poems by Anne Sexton.
