And so it follows

This civilization is engendered by its obsession to satisfy bellies and entrails and to discipline and control genitals.
Bellies and entrails are places of exposure, of explicit attention.
Genitals concealed.
Hunger and food provision is a matter for explicit public concern.
It is about the civil, the human, the higher, the dignified.
Genitalia is private, animal, lower, a realm of excuses.
I see the rich filling their stomachs with pornographic cakes,
liqueurs, fruit and nut concoctions, fine herbs from beyond the seas
which are dirty also because so many people don't.
Any age, any time of the day, eat.
The refinement of lips and tongues and teeth and throats seem endless;
The refinement of genitals trails behind, concealed.
