   		3	mountain folk from Kentucky

   		5	or the ribbed north end of
   		6	Jersey
   		7	with its isolate lakes and
   		8
   		9	valleys, its deaf-mutes, thieves
   		10	old names
   		11	and promiscuity between
   		12
   		13	devil-may-care men who have taken
   		14	to railroading
   		15	out of sheer lust of adventure—
   		16
   		17	and young slatterns, bathed
   		18	in filth
   		19	from Monday to Saturday
   		20
   		21	to be tricked out that night
   		22	with gauds
   		23	from imaginations which have no
   		24
   		25	peasant traditions to give them
   		26	character
   		27	but flutter and flaunt
   		28
   		29	sheer rags-succumbing without
   		30	emotion
   		31	save numbed terror
   		32
   		33	under some hedge of choke-cherry
   		34	or viburnum-
   		35	which they cannot express—
   		36
   		37	Unless it be that marriage
   		38	perhaps
   		39	with a dash of Indian blood
   		40
   		41	will throw up a girl so desolate
   		42	so hemmed round
   		43	with disease or murder
   		44
   		45	that she'll be rescued by an
   		46	agent—
   		47	reared by the state and
   		48
   		49	sent out at fifteen to work in
   		50	some hard-pressed
   		51	house in the suburbs—
   		52
   		53	some doctor's family, some Elsie—
   		54	voluptuous water
   		55	expressing with broken
   		56
   		57	brain the truth about us—
   		58	her great
   		59	ungainly hips and flopping breasts
   		60
   		61	addressed to cheap
   		62	jewelry
   		63	and rich young men with fine eyes
   		64
   		65	as if the earth under our feet
   		66	were
   		67	an excrement of some sky
   		68
   		69	and we degraded prisoners
   		70	destined
   		71	to hunger until we eat filth
   		72
   		73	while the imagination strains
   		74	after deer
   		75	going by fields of goldenrod in
   		76
   		77	the stifling heat of September
   		78	Somehow
   		79	it seems to destroy us
   		80
   		81	It is only in isolate flecks that
   		82	something
   		83	is given off
   		84
   		85	No one
   		86	to witness
   		87	and adjust, no one to drive the car
