Parading past in the emperor's robe, I looked with wonder at the fool, Left, right, right left, Out of step. I stood too close to the sewer cover, A stench was in the air. Behind and above on a balcony, Leaning on wrought iron, A woman's voice, drunk on demonstrations, Called out, bouncing off balloons, Never look a clenched fist in the mouth.

Cellophane Clothes
Parading past in the emperor's robe, I looked with wonder at the fool, Left, right, right left, Out of step. I stood too close to the sewer cover, A stench was in the air. Behind and above on a balcony, Leaning on wrought iron, A woman's voice, drunk on demonstrations, Called out, bouncing off balloons, Never look a clenched fist in the mouth.
