Extra Objective

If you've known one by her opened toad shoe,
which bends and croaks again, so
like leather slips over and squats,
then watch this.
You found another by the lobe-round ring in her ear,
its hitting aside her neck, its striking pentacle,
sun stopped at its isosceles.
Any man is when he drops his head
and yesterday another would sit for you, bent like stairs,
a rigid and accepting host,
All these by toad, by rings, by stair, or pendulum you know.
From these, is your descript, or your effects: are you,
else than you these lives all manners live,
besides, outside of you, your tools, theirs too.
