The name of this city that for hundreds of years seems to have stood for literature and imprisonment now spells poverty to me. Yells: it's the hunger and thirst that embraces every bent old woman in the street. 'You are the book my DNA needs to be signed on.'

The name of this city that for hundreds of years seems
to have stood for literature and imprisonment now spells poverty to me. Not spells, yells: it’s the hunger and thirst that embraces every bent old woman in the street, then purrs and screeches in the wheels of the ex-commies’ 4X4s. It’s humble – you know, humility, which means “of the earth” – and brazen – which means “of brass.” And there’s no grass, for sure. Not a happy enough picture? You are the book my DNA needs to be signed on. We laughed shyly but the others turned their heads watching their own reflections against the stony dark speeding by our train. A carload of bitter dead driven wildly through an endless tubular grave. Soon, though, we’ll be back in the street, penniless, kissing.
