         He lit a cigarette and looked slowly over the moving and stationary figures on the broad expanse of dock. Blue-clad porters. A few men in rather shabby looking overcoats walking about restlessly, glancing at the ship ; they looked more like money-changers or taxi-drivers than policemen he thought.

Love 20¢ the First Quarter Mile

Because tonight you are in my hair and eyes

And every street light that our taxi passes shows me you again

And because tonight and all other nights are black, all other hours are cold

and far away, and now, this minute, the stars are very near and bright

Come back, we will have a celebration to end all celebrations

We will invite the undertaker who lives beneath us, and a couple of

boys from the office and some other friends

And Steinberg who is off the wagon and that insane woman who lives

upstairs, and a few reporters if anything should break
