She said she once stepped on Tom Waits' hand-
they had a swing in their loft in Tribeca
they sold it and moved to the Palisades
 it was grey and dreary
A painting of the famous Ashcan School teacher
  Robert Henri stared at me
his father had painted it in the early part of the century
 the view was grey and dreary down below
the pilings of old wharves dotted the river
everything was gray
 a jitney took me right to the building
I don't know how I found it
they were on the 27th floor
we ordered delivery
 and drank crunchy rice tea
or maybe we went out
 I don't remember
