So they're leaving now, for good — His son with his decibel music, His trailblazing machine, His brazen girl Immune to the privilege of pity. The place will be a bit empty now — But at least he can keep up the rent. Stubs out a final cigarette, And remembers how she always liked the ashtrays Clean. Ashtrays and windows. (Threnody, threnody — How can we learn enough remembering To forget?) |
