Men with picked voices chant the names	A
of cities in a huge gallery promises	B
that pull through descending stairways	C
to a deep rumbling	D
	-
The rubbing feet	E
of those coming to be carried quicken a	F
grey pavement into soft light that rocks	G
to and fro under the domed ceiling	D
across and across from pale	H
earthcolored walls of bare limestone	I
	-
Covertly the hands of a great clock	J
go round and round Were they to	K
move quickly and at once the whole	L
secret would be out and the shuffling	D
of all ants be done forever	M
	-
A leaning pyramid of sunlight narrowing	D
out at a high window moves by the clock	J
disaccordant hands straining out from	N
a center inevitable postures infinitely	O
repeated	P
two twofour twoeight	P
Porters in red hats run on narrow platforms	Q
This way ma'am	R
important not to take	S
the wrong train	T
Lights from the concrete	P
ceiling hang crooked but	P
Poised horizontal	U
on glittering parallels the dingy cylinders	V
packed with a warm glow inviting entry	O
pull against the hour But brakes can	W
hold a fixed posture till	X
The whistle	U
	-
Not twoeight Not twofour Two	K
	-
Gliding windows Colored cooks sweating	D
in a small kitchen Taillights	V
	-
In time twofour	O
In time twoeight	P
	-
rivers are tunneled trestles	V
cross oozy swampland wheels repeating	D
the same gesture remain relatively	O
stationary rails forever parallel	Y
return on themselves infinitely	O
The dance is sure	O
