EVELYN NESBIT REMEMBERS

          climbing stairs
          of boardinghouse
          in Hollywood

the girl
   in the
        red velvet
           swing

          thinks back
          to the nite
          she snuck out
          on Stanford White
          to spend
          in the arms
          of John Barrymore

          for one moment
          she cd still
          smell him
