but the posters sang
the trees stretched themselves
the barbers wax statue grinned at me
Do not spit
Do not smoke
rays of sunlight in the hand you told me
there were fourteen
I invent unknown streets
new and flowering continents
the newspapers will appear tomorrow
Beware of wet paint
I shall walk naked with a cane in my hand"
(Paul Auster - Servitudes, în Collected Poems, The Overlook Press, 2004)
