    A Poem For The Swingers, A Poem For The Playgirls Of The Universe

    So what happened to this poem after 12-24-74? The published version in Open All Night changes "it appears in their walk/in their eyes/in their laughter and in their/gentleness". The published version is "in their laughter and in their/gentle hearts."
