| Floor ceiling walls | B |
| Ivory shadows | C |
| Over the pavement | D |
| Polished to cream surfaces | E |
| By constant sweeping | F |
| The big room is coloured like the petals | G |
| Of a great magnolia | H |
| And has a patina | H |
| Of flower bloom | I |
| Which makes it shine dimly | J |
| Under the electric lamps | K |
| Chairs are ranged in rows | C |
| Like sepia seeds | L |
| Waiting fulfilment | D |
| The chalk white spot of a cook's cap | M |
| Moves unglossily against the vaguely bright wall | N |
| Dull chalk white striking the retina like a blow | O |
| Through the wavering uncertainty of steam | P |
| Vitreous white of glasses with green reflections | Q |
| Ice green carboys shifting greener bluer with the jar of moving water | R |
| Jagged green white bowls of pressed glass | S |
| Rearing snow peaks of chipped sugar | R |
| Above the lighthouse shaped castors | S |
| Of grey pepper and grey white salt | D |
| Grey white placards Oyster Stew Cornbeef Hash Frankfurters | S |
| Marble slabs veined with words in meandering lines | S |
| Dropping on the white counter like horn notes | S |
| Through a web of violins | S |
| The flat yellow lights of oranges | S |
| The cube red splashes of apples | S |
| In high plated 'epergnes' | S |
| The electric clock jerks every half minute | D |
| Coming Past | D |
| Three beef steaks and a chicken pie | T |
| Bawled through a slide while the clock jerks heavily | J |
| A man carries a china mug of coffee to a distant chair | U |
| Two rice puddings and a salmon salad | D |
| Are pushed over the counter | R |
| The unfulfilled chairs open to receive them | V |
| A spoon falls upon the floor with the impact of metal striking stone | W |
| And the sound throws across the room | I |
| Sharp invisible zigzags | S |
| Of silver | R |
