But the artist sat the nude model on the table and moved her legs apart. The girl hardly resisted and merely covered her face with her hands.
Amonova and Strakhova said that first the girl should have been taken off to the bathroom and washed between her legs, as any whiff of such an aroma was simply repulsive.
The girl wanted to jump up but the artist held her back and asked her to take no notice and sit there, just as he had placed her. The girl, not knowing what she was supposed to do, sat back down again.
The artist and his female colleagues took their respective seats and began sketching the nude model. Petrova said that the nude model was a very seductive woman, but Strakhova and Amonova said that she was rather plump and indecent.
Zolotogromov said that this was what made her seductive, but Strakhova said that this was simply repulsive, and not at all seductive.
— Look — said Strakhova — ugh! It's pouring out of her on to the table cloth. What is there seductive about that, when I can sniff the smell off her from here.
Petrova said that this only showed her feminine strength. Abel'far blushed and agreed. Amonova said she had seen nothing like it, that you get to the highest point of arousal and it still wouldn't secrete like this girl did. Petrova said that, faced with that, one could get aroused oneself and that Zolotogromov must already be aroused.
Zolotogromov agreed that the girl was having quite an effect on him. Abel'far sat there red in the face and she was breathing heavily.
— However, the air in this room is becoming unbearable — said Strakhova. Abel'far fidgeted on her chair and then leapt up and went out of the room.
— There — said Petrova — you see the result of female seductiveness. It even acts on the ladies. Abel'far has gone off to put herself to rights. I can feel that I will soon have to do the same thing.
— That — said Amonova — only shows the advantage we thin women possess. Everything with us is always as it should be. But both you and Abel'far are splendiferous ladies and you have to keep yourselves very much in check.
— Yet — said Zolotogromov — splendiferousness and a certain lack of bodily hygiene are what is to be particularly valued in a woman.

I really like this poem. It is very honest. The reason we comment is so we pass the word and truely great poets aren't forgotten.

Not sure what the point is on commenting to a poet decades ago dead. But I've loved Kharms's writing since I first discovered it when my friend Georgi in Moscow read me some of his short stories. I used to translate them for my Russian homework. If you enjoyed Kharms, give his friend Vvedensky a try.

Hheheheheha... I loved this. I wanted to read something like this tonight. Something raw and written so well it seemed honest. Like you could imagine it happening. It was so bizarre that it probably has happened before. Interesting. I would have liked it better if one of the female artists went down on her, though. Maybe there's a sequel.

What an odd reaction from the model to get so embarrased and yet so excited by her situation. The conversation is this was wonderful. Oh, if I could only write conversation.
A very funny story.
