Chapter 2--That, Which, Who?

the gold painted ornamentation on the outside of the theatre, in need of a retouch.

gradual slope up to the bridge, from the end of the wide avenue, still decorated with
paper lanterns writing curlicues in the air with every breeze. the original purpose of their
celebration a mystery.

fresh air, today, without chemical odors.

wool-lined gloves left on a smoothe stone bench. a crushed can lid on the broadly paved
sidewalk---Jamper's bootblack.


the bow knot tie of a bald manikin head in the window of the clothing shop with the
off-hinge door.

yellow sign under streaked glass: "Light Afternoon Meals".
between this restaurant and the theatre, again, the narrow club entrance.

and not a soul in sight. not even the blind horse.


If the horse has glass eyes, how could it find the next street??
