Fragments of Noir

He told her to wait by the Magazines

To take care of some business it seems

Bring a raincoat

Bring a suitcase

Bring your dark eyes

And wear those red shoes

Red Shoes by the Drugstore

(Waits)

Tom Waits

fragments of noir: 'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
