Order of Harpoons :: Digitalia :: Dobre Vecher (2)

Matthew Shindell

. . .

I do ask a girl on the street.

It's a "no-go," she says.

I sneak into a stairwell to roll a cigarette.

In secret.

I think, What if she could be the carnation in my lapel or the spider
on my shoulder?

It is her decision.
