Trees seem lonely. Sparrows with
city habits the only birds. All life
seems Gagged. Humans become moles,

twice day, only to scuttlc into
great mounds built by other molcs. :.
Everything run on wheels and
gears, grinding away from day to
day. Grinding on from cradle to
grave. Push the button and the
cycle begins. Push button and it
stops. .......
Loneliness and aching in the con-
slant striving. Striving for what

chimes, the subway, an incandcsccnt
glare, an hour or two of drama be-
fore the dumb screen or before a
cramped stage, and the subway and

And on the other hand. ...
