Strong piece... and a great teaching poem. It demonstrates how one can begin by describing a situation and then how one line ('We both wanted to know\something about somebody.') elevates the piece into a more philosophical\intellectual realm. Then back to description of the 'scene, ' followed by a new description, the snow and streetlights slowing the pace, and the whisper, yes, the whisper. Love this! Shelley A.
