And I took my bandanna again on my stick

And I walked to the grocery and took my pick

[With domesticity for the moment]

And I bought crackers, canned shrimps, corn,

Codfish like flakes of snow at morn,

Buns for breakfast and a fountain-pen

Laid down change and marched out again

And I walked through Hoboken, torn-socked, free,

With my red heart galumphing all agog in front of me!
