...step on a crackor
don'tbut step
alongmake
your awkward dance
in this new city

On that balconyabove its shadow
a woman in a creamy morning gown
lays her arms upon a glass table
Her right hand rests upon an orange
perfectly ripeawash in light

Van Bryck-Hedd kindly
asks you to bring
only your profile too
He speaks so patiently
his words are few
