III - The mental bar is almost touching the ground.

We step off. Footsteps light and fast then heavy and slow.
My eyes to the the ground, I shrug and falter slightly on a loose cobblestone.

There is no right rhythm for this, I think to myself.

Satiric, sure.

A revolution and I may become independent, I think to myself.

She may not get the joke.

Not very funny, anyway. I never really studied. This gets me laughing and she cocks her head askew.

1830's? Revolution?

But, I don't say it. She won't get it.

I am a speck on "the Belgian window" and all I feel is a cool breeze and a sick joke.

Even the astronauts know where they're going.
