Cumming is becoming my new favorite poet‚ I like his use of words both stylistically and for meaning‚ the way he makes them play together. This poem is not very forth coming with the 5w’.

    before they go to the toilet. In most of the cases‚ however‚ these women do not actually get their noses powders. In formal social gatherings‚ to say “going to the toilet” is often considered unrefined or uncouth. The women are obliged to use a euphemism in accordance to proper etiquette. In some situations‚ telling the complete truth can be a waste of time. For instance‚ when I ran into one of my friends on the street he asked me where I was going. I told him that I was going to the park when in
