In the soft glow of a corner street light, we see the velvety black details of building, sidewalk and curb. A lone man sits on the curb, his head hidden in his arms and his arms resting on his knees. Down the street and around the corner from the corner building is another building with a dark arch for an entrance. Twin tracks seem to lead toward the dark arch. (Monica Jensen 02/09/93)
