  1. Simon uses the layout of a haiku to create an effective cutting (a semantic and thematic break between Ls 1&2 [scene-cum-mood setting] and L3 [dreaming room/interpretative space]) that creates an interpretative space where the reader can fill in his or her "another story, L3".

    Here is my story:

    new in town
    the lingering stare
    of a stray
