in walked a man in the shape of a man
  holding a hat-shaped hat
  he held up two fingers and said 'how many fingers?"
  and i said 'Peace man, that's where it's at"
  i said you are what you do in order to
  prevent becoming what you're busy not doing
  and if you do do it truly
  then you arrive at it newly
  then in the end you are absolved
  and the problem of heaven is solved
  
  and the man broke into a smile,
  like he was breaking into a song
  and he was broken and smiling
  and i was singing along
  and we agreed completely agreetly about most things
  'til the sun set sweetly
  like it does in those paintings
  the ones they hang in hotel rooms
  the ones they bolt to the wall
  as though anyone would want to steal them at all
  
  we talked like children without breathing
  'til i stopped this lady as she was leaving
  and i said 'excuse me,
  but do you know what time it would be
  if we were on mars ?'
  and she held up her hand
  like a crossing guard stopping the cars
  and she said
  five in the morning
  
  in walked a man
  in the shape of a man
  holding a hat shaped hat
