By Jack Joseph Smith

Though she said it better by taking off It was like a best bread hoof Went across my plainsmen mind She said over the air in her voice The star that shines for you came and sent me to my feet She had come to me On my crutches mistepping over the stoop of the tavern Picked me up off the street Engagement with her help from the Black bar Sent me to the train Where there I saw her run away Faster than the eye could see

A woman lifts the speaker from crutches, tavern, street, and Black bar, then runs away faster than the eye could see.

The page turns rescue into disappearance. The strange opening images give way to a direct scene of help, transport, and sudden flight.
