"Nipple" in German? I turn to Chapter 3,
Where that, at least, will be revealed to me,
And find brustwarze: "breast wart." Who'd have thought?
But though it's odd, it's almost right, le mot
Just off, a word that alters prurience
At once to not-quite-chaste luxuriance
In the queerness of the world and of our speech,
Which separates and binds us each to each.
God, that's enough from me. But you, out there,
Why don't you send me your own new Baudelaire?
I'll post them all so all of us can share.
