School is over. It is too hot br to walk at ease. At ease br in light frocks they walk the streets br to while the time away. br They have grown tall. They hold br pink flames in their right hands. br In white from head to foot, br with sidelong, idle look-- br in yellow, floating stuff, br black sash and stockings-- br touching their avid mouths br with pink sugar on a stick-- br like a carnation each holds in her hand-- br they mount the lonely street.
