Now I can count on you.
People are restless and they move too much,
But you no longer have a young man's heart
Hot for experience without review,
Pumping responses to the latest touch:
We do not need to part.
Yet nothing lasts, you know.
I tell you what, there is a place divides
The house's structure, hidden at the center.
If I show you that crawl-space, you must show
The inmost secrets to me that skin hides.
Here, I will help you enter.
[Thom Gunn {1929-2004}, 'The Visible Man' from Boss Cupid]
