in the iconoclastic village there is one main street / houses shops and an assembly hall / fivemiletown / no one lives there as yet who would be of any interest to your highness / plans are being laid for this drab inconsequential village to be the site of an important episode in the celebrated adventure / escape to the mosaic city / in the iconoclastic city meanwhile an old man and two boys walk through the streets / they are residing in an cheap hotel / the bill is mounting up / where on earth to start an escape / information must be gained / they walk the streets / an improbable visit / all but useless / finding no maps they return to the provincial town defeated / in the mosaic village the musicians are in the ornamental garden practicing for the festival as ever / in the mosaic town the sun is rising / streets are being swept clean / polished / early morning / outdoor singing / groups of mongrel-boys rolling in the grass / im on maintynance tamorra / with a smile / imagining the monkey suit / being out among the plants of the perimeter
