EARLY AFTERNOON ON SVOBODY AVENUE, ABOUT 1910

One man has walked almost 

Entirely out of the picture so that 

His elbow and his slender cane 

Are all we see. Three other men

Hold canes; only one rests

On the ground. Every head is covered.

Soldiers on horseback wear caps 

Two little girls and one woman 

Wear kerchiefs. Two of the men 

Mirror each other, their canes

At the same angle, their eyes 

Saying "Yes, we see you. 

Don't tell us what comes next."
