24 hours a day for the rest of our time together, we'll walk with glutton in our shoes walking with weight on our backs covering distances only known in novels.
They'll get us you know, those men selling cigarettes out of office blocks, down that block there- it's 62nd street and they never clock off.
What windows see aren't what we see. Windows hear and feel and we see and never heal; we hold wounds like flowers bought in hospital foyers, late to see a relative.
Buy ones and get some free: it's a ploy so we spend that little bit more than we need to.
