we are no longer an audience but a crowd of spectators --especially here, I think, facing each other on a subway car each buffeted by his own thunderstorm on the seat's meager moor and all in mute contract not to pry not to hear the lines we can see each other mouthing a string of spectacular specters only the man in the corner corporeal head bent over a large bruise-edged bouquet of white asters small petals tangled like hair
