Excerpt from City Block

Below the brim of his hat was a bit of auburn bang and a clear brow. His hat and his features did not go together: perhaps the reason why his hat was so far tilted upward. There was a small fine nose, pushing; a small warm mouth, taking cold air; blue eyes. Against these, in adverse rhythm a hat that tilted, a bamboo cane that swung, shoes spat-ted. Here was presto, eyes and nose and mouth were andantino. A subtle discord wavering apart in the crude song of the street.

Under its spume of shopping multitude, his body had its pace, his mind its channel. Clarence Lipper was an individual man with shoulders Sharp through the churn.
