In passing with my mindA
on nothing in the worldB
-
but the right of wayC
I enjoy on the road byD
-
virtue of the lawE
I sawE
-
an elderly man whoF
smiled and looked awayC
-
to the north past a houseG
a woman in blueF
-
who was laughing andH
leaning forward to look upI
-
into the man's halfJ
averted faceK
-
and a boy of eight who wasL
looking at the middle ofM
-
the man's bellyN
at a watchchainO
-
The supreme importanceP
of this nameless spectacleQ
-
sped me by themR
without a wordS
-
Why bother where I wentT
for I went spinning on theU
-
four wheels of my carV
along the wet road untilW
-
I saw a girl with one legX
over the rail of a balconyO
