They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And ______ the trampled edges of the street
I am aware ______ the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
______ faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear ______ a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that ______ in the air
And vanishes along the level of ______ roofs.
