THE STREET

BY: OCTAVIO PAZ RECITED BY: JOSEPH RABINOWITZ

A long and silent street, I walk in blackness and I stumble and fall and rise, and I walk blind, my feet stepping on silent stones and dry leaves.

Someone behind me also stepping on stones, leaves; if I slow down, he slows;

if I run, he runs.

I turn: nobody.

Everything dark and doorless.

Turning and turning among these corners which lead forever to the street where nobody waits for, nobody follows me, where I pursue a man who stumbles and rises and says when he sees me: nobody.
