| A tall and calmly barber prepares a sickly drifter's beard for it's once yearly grooming while a stolid barber's boy sweeps the hair ashes of the last day's clients from the cast marble floor and the sun shines bronze hazel mistrals off tin rooftop tenements that hum with a muzzins call. | |
| Barber: | I see you've lost another finger. |
| Drifter: | No, just a little more off the last. |
| Barber: | Ah. Yes. |
| Drifter: | How's been your winter? |
| Barber: | Good. Slow but good. I took a course in primate sign language. |
| Drifter: | The what? |
| Barber: | Hand signals you understand. For monkeys. |
| Drifter: | Ah yah. |
| A silence followed pierced by the call of a sterling jay perched on a streetlamp nearby. The barber began to trim. | |
| Drifter: | I've seen some things this winter no man'll ever want to spy. |
| Barber: | Yes. |
| Drifter: | I saw a man get split in half by a falling tree. |
| Barber: | Terrible. |
| Drifter: | I saw a man burn his moustache clean off and not leave a scratch. |
| Barber: | LIke a circus act? |
| Drifter: | No, just a man who lost some woman he loved and wondered the streets burning his long whiskers for quarters. |
| Barber: | Fool... |
| Drifter: | Saw a light inside a tunnel. Buried deep in the earth. |
| Barber: | Down where? |
| Drifter: | Far down. Many miles. Can't remember how I got there. Just woke up there one night and had to find a way out. |
| Barber: | And whadja see? |
| Drifter: | Cornfield. |
| Barber: | How's that? |
| Drifter: | Cornfield buried in the earth. Thousands of acres. and perched above some whole other sky made of mirrors and girders that fried it all up with pure moonbeam sunshine. Round the clock. Saw that with my own eyes. |
| Barber: | Ya get some corn? |
| Drifter: | You better believe. |
| The barber smiled. The drifter was by far the most honest man he knew. |
