What do you need now and for what?  
Does it matter, that light, deft question?     
 
I ducked his dumb query, closed the distance.   
I told him, no, I have to split. Added a little  
from today’s Times calling Merce Cunningham’s   
choreography Democracy in Action a refreshing run around   
the unlettered clique-minded. 
 
Last figurines / their aptness in transit  
when pragma-morphism brainstorms over exit left.
