It was a grid </l> <l>of pale blue and gray linoleum; it no longer exists. </l> <l>All of us move in time for winter. </l> <l>Things are most dangerous when habits are kicked; </l> <l>birds, and the way you imagine.</l> </lg> <lg> <l>We tell stories. </l> <l>This to restrain the sense that we would give in </l> <l>too easily when the time came. The time had come. </l> <l>The first red and the first green are not the same; </l> <l>between death and birth are radical colors, </l> <l>of which the trees are stain. I told stories for hours, </l> <l>each made from imminent, rendered places; talk itself </l> <l>a terrain. I recall games: ducking and kisses and tails. </l> <l>Someone is always blinded. Someone was removed in a chair.</l> </lg> </div> </body> <back> <p> Ann Lauterbach is a native New Yorker.
