People At Night Comments

- People At Night - A night that cuts between you and you and you and you and you and me: jostles us apart, a man elbowing through a crowd. We won’t look for each other, either- wander off, each alone, not looking in the slow crowd. Among the sideshows under movie signs, pictures made of a million lights, giants that move and again move again, above a cloud of thick smells, franks, roasted nutmeats- Or going up to some apartment, yours or yours, finding someone sitting int he dark: who is it really? So you switch the light on to see: you know the name but who it? But you won’t see. The florescent light flickers sullenly, a pause, but you command. It grabs each face and holds it up by the hair for you, mask after mask. You and you and I repeat gestures that make do when speech and failed and talk and talk, laughing saying ” I” and “I”. meaning “Anybody” No one.
