eyes wide earth at my feet 
standing there I cough 
while tugging at a loose
string I approach the foyer 
dazzled by grit lock surprises 
cautiously I sneeze waving 
all rights to a fresh handkerchief 
silence abodes as the rough 
dragging sound of two large pumps 
stuffed in a crowded elevator 
one word expressed repeatedly 
morning morning morning
my thoughts were posh 
and rather timid as a voice 
announced hey Hank  
this will be my stop
