"THE ego, non-ego, the body, the soul" -- I wonder if she has a heart, -- "The concept, sensorium, body, the whole," -- I can't keep these meanings apart! "The ego, non-ego" -- such sweet little ways, And the touch of her hand in the waltz, -- A million, cotillion, my mind's in a maze, -- "The concept" -- Jack says she is false. "The concept -- the concept" -- where @3did@1 I leave off?
