10,677. IN THE HANDS OF AN INSTANT

IN THE HANDS 
OF AN INSTANT
I've got the drainpipe to hang onto,
along Bedford and Barrow Streets.
-
A few drunk carousers, old Chumley's
like it was still alive. Anne Adams, 
and me. Rolling along. carefree.
-
Too bad she was a hundred years old
already when I knew her. Well, not
really. But eighty for sure. A pity.
-
A pithy pity really, and a
pithy one at that.
