Panorama in Miniature/Shine vs. Shine



Secrets become agreements, myths from Griots' lips, grievances, givens (man keeled over at the railroad station is waiting for his woman's train (to arrive) on a discontinued line... he is very patient, do not pity him, there is a phase of love coloring his heart to blind and giddy, he rhymes with himself and can you do that, can you lean that over... it suddenly recurred to me, to whom who keeps a record, weather at the strip club or the red party meeting, or here waiting, all of these are part crimson/ brutal.
