A bust of Beethoven has fallen in love with a tiny statuette of the Venus De Milo who has also lost her head. Beethoven with his shattered hair admires what is there of her body Christ! with his left arm snapped off comes between them keeping them apart. Christianity is harsh. I pass & leave them to their broken hearts. Buy an egg timer made of brass from a man who looks like a monkey even more than a monkey do. I turn the sands of time upside down & then again upside down again and with much fuss catch the packed bus in the non-stop rain. Home again I boil an egg that is neither hard nor soft hum Tchaikovsky as I chew burnt toast and cry over you.
