Danse Russe
by William Carlos Williams


If when my wife is sleeping
and the baby and Kathleen
are sleeping
and the sun is a flame-white disc
in silken mists
above shining trees,-
if I in my north room
dance naked, grotesquely
before my mirror
waving my shirt round my head
and singing softly to myself:
"I am lonely, lonely,
I was born to be lonely,
I am best so!"
If I admire my arms, my face,
my shoulders, flanks, buttocks
against the yellow drawn shades,-

Who shall say I am not
the happy genius of my household?

I love this poem. ( c;

So will nudity, although it's the female nudity that gets the pleased attention.

I don't know...I'm pretty damn pleased about male nudity.

Well, it all depends on your point of view, doesn't it?
