One can see almost anything in
New York. And frequently does. For
instance: thu other day from 4 train
on the Sixth avenue elevated, / looked
into the windows of loft on Christie
pher street, right at a nice live goat,
munching away on a bunch .of hay.
Why a goat was kept there and how
and all the rest of the story, can't
imagine and shall probably never
know. But it was there.

thing that held you long after the
