A purple shoe steps forward and then a yellow shoe. They both belong to the man in the house you cannot see from the street, but he is not wearing either of them now. He is sleeping, dreaming that he is loved. The purple shoe is on the foot of a woman who has slept beside him. The yellow shoe is on the foot of a man who has betrayed him. Purple, yellow, royalty, sunlight: they go down the path toward the street, where their getaway car is waiting. Their pockets make music with the coins they have taken.
