"Instructions for a waitress."
Don't remove the glasses and plates
from the table, don't rub the stain from the cloth,
it's good to know people were here before me.
I buy shoes, which were on another man's feet,
my love is another man's wife.
My night is used with dreams, on my window
raindrops are painted.
Is the margins of my books are notes by others?
On the plan of the house in which I want to live,
the architect has drawn strangers near the entrance.
On my bed is a pillow with a hollow of a head, now gone.
Therefore, don't remove from the table,
it's good to know people were here before me.
[APPLAUSE]
