THE OTHER ONE

As you enter into the city you see

Another entering ahead of you. Her eyes,

Are unnecessarily bright 

Her manner too alert; she will see

Pretty much everything worth seeing.

Hurry --  perhaps you'll be first to find

A broken statue, an old lamp,

A cook on Fourth Street who once

Kicked Ernest Hemingway's shin

Though he doesn't remember why.
