LOVE shrugs her shoulders—and kisses him.
italics, except for LOVE
LOVE hands him a pair of boxing-gloves—red flannel hearts—and puts on a pair herself with which every point made is emphasised by a psychological blow
italics except for LOVE
with an off-hand gesture he draws LOVE out of his pocket, scattering the newspapers, shakes LOVE out and stands her on the floor in front of him, taking her measure with a masterful eye as she pulls herself together
italics, except for LOVE (twice)
NATURE comes on, looking enquiring.

We could add the following footnote here: This refers to various pranks and strategies that the Futurists used in order to provoke audiences at their "serate" (evening events) and create brawls. (LS)

add footnote here: In the poem "Lion's Jaws", a satire of the Futurist movement, and especially of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's masculinist and misogynist postures, Loy refers to the figure of "Raminetti" (clearly referring to Marinetti) as a "conjuring commercial traveller". (Loy, Mina. “Lion's Jaws”, The Lost Lunar Baedeker: Poems of Mina Loy, edited by Roger Conover. New York, Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1996, pp. 46-50, p. 48). (LS)
