The men.
The men just stare
Straight ahead
Vacantly
Hollow-eyed
Lonely.
The women more

I held the steam and scrubbed it. How do you do that? asked Willy. How do you scrub steam? It is so, you know, diaphanous. I said to Willy, because Willy was a good man and listened with both ears, we adapt to the heart's convulsions. I send my grammar to a…
