Home town, quiet weekend

one can muse in fresh air where no one will know

Clink clink

   The telling sound of summer
   descending a staircase, re-
   luctantly to provision each
   foot with a supply of socks

  while somewhere
  else it's warm-
  ing. Toot toot.

"I am the 'I.' And I am the 'Y.'"

    Izzy Yereshevsky is one

    of the great portraits in

    bootstrap American lore.

    He came from a land much

    admired from Moscow and

    the 26th floor, Ukraine.

    Two initials, he once ex-

    plained, sound responsible.

    His I & Y cigar store at

    49th and Seventh Avenue

    closed only for atonement.

    

    I ran into a spunky cheeky

    capitalist over the week-

    end, back from 3 years in

    Paris, of no acquaintance

    with Liebling. I expected

    our inheritors to be brash,

    but au moindre to acquire

    a regard for their own ash.

    Izzy stays open because of 

    the night-club trade and he 

    gets the night-club trade 

    because he stays open.

Our francophone fabricator of trunk show fantasies has collaborated with Eugene O'Neill in this political season's revival of The Ice Man Cometh, and half of Greenwich Village -
the nice half, Dear - is agog with acquisitive lubricity. 'Tis the season for hacking, and the crate of transparency is in vogue: the Weiners are chipping off their picaresque marriage again, the clever Foundation is frantically thawing away its pollution, and the carnival barking bartender cannot keep delirium tremulous enough. Again the theatre compels the question, for any electorate witted half or more, How much can you bear to know? Who, then, doesn't turn to the consolations of consumption, and where better than to LVMH?

What's it going to do to travel?

 I was only wondering, if we

 start subjecting travelers

 to stylistic interrogatories

 will they let me into Sweden

 for the Mozart at Drottning-

 holm Court State Theatre?
