could be in violation. This
phone booth tilts like Pisa.

Forget the whistles. This boy
is gone. Change left in the
change return. Who is your
sweeting? Range over the city
like a voice. Like a plague
in the guise of a rainbow.
The polyphony really works. Images are tight! I especially like the “Mr. Mann” voice that always trys to break through the static like an everyman prophet. It’s also good to feel the warmth of humor. Ours is a troubled planet, Mr. Mann!
