Metropolitan

West a business breast, North a morose jig, East a false
escape, South steam in milk.

North the great cat, East the great water, South the great
fire, West the great arrow.

East the uneager fingers, South the damp cave, West the
chained ankle, North the rehearsed cry.

South the short, West the soap, North the sheets, East the
shivers.

West the Why-not, North the Now-then, East the End-
product, South the Same-again.

North the telephone smile, East the early appointment,
South the second reminder, West the hanging button.

East the endless arrival, South the astounding statistic,
West the wasted words, North the night of nights.
