There were people screaming,
a dog was barking.
I reached into my pocket for a box of matches
to light the cigarette in my mouth.

The President was on the television.
A woman said she was cold all the time.
her friend responded
'Harry and I are headed south
They say February is lovely in Acapulco.'

I leaned against a wall to catch my breath.
A dog was barking.
Children running up steps.
I realized I was going deaf.
