"And it drives me to certain street corners, damp houses,
towards hospitals where skeletons leap from the window,
to cobbler's shops stinking of vinegar,
to alleys awful as abysses.
I pass by calmly, with eyes and shoes,
with anger and oblivion,
pass by, cross through offices, orthopedic stores,
and yards where clothes hang down from wires:
underpants, towels, and shirts, that cry
slow guilty tears."
-Pablo Neruda
