ALMOST ALONE HERE THE SUBWAY

ALMOST ALONE HERE THE SUBWAY

means nothing but a

mathematical calculation condensed somehow that I

might be mugged by

that universal-looking banjo player

alone too and round shoulder-

ed and three a.m. eyed who doesn’t

really think I’m dangerous too but doesn’t

know for sure too much that jazz

is business and business jazz

and somebody else’s Christmas tree

and really

love

turned back upon his fear of

being mugged or universally

somehow loved by me.
