Rocks, sea gulls, tumbling

trees like statues, dark boughs
against the November sky - the
soft hint Of rain in the air, a
pair of wild doves cooling and
ca-roo-ing in the dark depths of
the ancient woods, a meadow

the scent of pine needles and
the whiff of the - what did
all these things mean to the
man who was lefty broke"
He didn't even know they
were there - and what of it il
they were?
He wanted TO sit down some
where in a comfortable chair
and talk about Forty-second
Street and Broadway or Fifth
Avenue and the traffic, and he
was homesick and lonesome and
out of place.
He wanted 20 see a traffic
cop, he wanted 10 check his hat
somewhere and give somebody a
quarter of a dollar to hold il
for him, and he wanted 10 stand
in line for theatre tickets, yes,
he even wanted to wait in the
wind and the rain half an hour
for a taxicab.
How lonesome and forlorn
and forgotten he did look,
standing in the shadow Of the
giant trees so close TO the call
ing sea-
He looked q little like a
frightened child az he stood
there and he was like one, too.
He missed the crowds, the noise,
the rattle and the traffic - he
felt lost when someone wasn't
iostling him, or pushing him in
the back, or nudging him in the
ribs. - Poor thing, he didn't
stay long-he couldn't, he would
have died if he'd stayed out of
the city another day.
Well, well, I hope he's back

the confusion and the rush, he's
