ULTIMATELY
He tried to spit out the truth;
Dry-mouthed at first,
He drooled and slobbered in the end;
Truth dribbling his chin.
The Double Dealer, June 1922
THE AGE DEMANDED
The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.

The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.

The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.

And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.
Der Querschnitt, February 1925
CHAPTER HEADING
For we have thought the larger thoughts
          And gone the shorter way.
And we have danced to devil's tunes,
          Shivering home to pray;
To serve one master in the night,
          Another in the day.
