The ensemble plays a lament
that carries on through the halls,
slowing, then picking up,
the pace.
The shot pans wide, for no
apparent reason.
The work is in the detail,
a practiced precision.
Dandelion florets disperse in a breeze
that disturbs very little
of the tableau.
A man in a suit, thick lapels, skinny tie, shouts
something
that should not be repeated.
