Appearances
Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
In the cold of winter, Broadway is seen through a misty chill.
And it's that time again.
Make the big wish, Palm Beach and the 15-day tour to sunny Cuba.
Make the annual excursion to the travel bureau to ask prices.
Then step next door again and purchase the steaming knish against the blasts of January.
And the next door down and stand under the music shop loudspeaker and listen to the record of La Cucaracha.
Button up your overcoat, walk Broadway.
It's touched you and it can never rub off.
Just off Broadway, 11 o'clock in the morning time on West 39th, apartment house, and this, languid attitude of hand against the floor, trail of blood upward to girl on bed, shot and dying, and this, the doctor bending over her.
And in the living room, this, the protesting man.
Mr.
Nobody called you a killer, Mr. Barnes.
I'd just like to know how you happened to find this girl,
just take that paper.
The time then for waiting, measured like this, brief span of morning sun to lie against the face of a wounded girl, gold drift of January light on throat of dying girl, till ambulance came and the young men of the stretcher to lift her, carry her to another place, another room, suitably darkened.
And time now for you to leave.
Ride then through late January city, uptown and east to where river reflects late morning and shadows of men staring into it, and late morning wishes cast into its waters, and uptown into the 70s to a delivery address on a moving man's order sheet.
1212 East 78th, Brownstone House, January trees in concrete wells against its facade, lace curtains, stoop freshly scrubbed.
Yes?
