.
a big dance hall
with a high ceiling
from which a cage is hanging
the cage is not empty
rhoda is dancing gracefully in the center of the hall
to the celestial music horace is playing
timmy is watching her adoringly
others are talking
drinking
or dancing too
there are a thousand and one people in the hall
exactly a thousand and one
crow has counted them
a thousand and one times
she knows every one of them
every one of them
except the one
who has invited them
to the dance
.
