Prelude
Swip Swap Swip Swap
Cigarette in one hand
Brush in the other
Goes the painter.
"Clean the drops as you go."
Murmurs an old woman
White haired
Nose ringed
Golden leaves
Fall noiselessly
Newspapers ruffle
Swip Swap Swip Swap
Young poet on a stone bench
Regards the brown river
Arid
Water Less
Clouds have gathered
I think it will rain
"You are the rainy day woman,
It always rains when you come."
Swip swap
Swip swap
"Clean the drop&;#8230;.."
Its three now,
Time to go
And drink tea.
