V-2nd: Grasping for V.

[Mark Kohut]

"Where we going?"....
"The way we're heading"

more vaudville-like reduction to no goal....

Misc. personal story: 
 
  Relatively early one beautiful Saturday or Sunday morn---before 11 at least--
I was walking on 12th street on the lower east side of New York. Probably heading to The Strand. 
 
Lower East side stays up late. So, few out compared to when night would come.
 
There was a youngish woman---I judged older than coed age; 20s NYC woman---dressed in a nice colorful frock, strolling so
loosely, bouyantly ahead of me.....
 
I thought to myself, I'll bet she is going home from a night with a (new, maybe) lover...she has a dress on, no jeans, etc.
She seems so happy about it: maybe it will be Love................
 
I passed her, she was sauntering, she looked at me and I smiled and said something like "good morning", "or beautiful day, yes"? 
 
Then, with one of the sweetest smiles I have ever seen she asked "Want a date?"........
