The Still Centre of Maggie Paul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maggie Paul haunted the waterfronts<\/p>\n

In search of Terry Malloy<\/p>\n

But she could not find him<\/p>\n

She was not even in the right place<\/p>\n

Johnny Friendly warned her to stay away<\/p>\n

But she ignored him and was beaten up<\/p>\n

So she planned his assassination<\/p>\n

From her room on W 10th\u00a0<\/sup>St<\/p>\n

Before she joined her friends<\/p>\n

For coffee in the village<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jerome and Millie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jerome had always considered himself<\/p>\n

To be a mean black motherfucker<\/p>\n

Until the day that he met Millie White<\/p>\n

Who owned a hat shop in Queens<\/p>\n

She took him off the streets<\/p>\n

And now he is designing hats<\/p>\n

For the thriving business<\/p>\n

That they jointly own<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Walk on the Wild Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Native American who called himself<\/p>\n

Walk on the Wild Water<\/p>\n

Met Jean-Michel Basquiat<\/p>\n

In a coffee shop on Broadway<\/p>\n

To discuss the possibility<\/p>\n

Of placing highly coloured<\/p>\n

Totem poles throughout the city<\/p>\n

They were served by a waitress named Roxanne<\/p>\n

Who was going to catch the movie\u00a0Personal Shopper<\/em><\/p>\n

After her shift<\/p>\n

As she was in love with Kristen Stewart<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hip Hop Henry\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan<\/p>\n

And was a leader in the hip-hop post-punk street art movements<\/p>\n

In his spare time away from the madness of his Wall Street job<\/p>\n
