"Di luar pusat pemuda, antara toko minuman keras dan kantor polisi, sebatang pohon dogwood hilang akal; dipenuhi dengan blossomfoam, seperti segelas bir; seperti pengantin wanita yang menanggalkan pakaiannya, menjatuhkan kelopak-kelopak salju putih ke tanah dalam awan, jadi pemborosan Alam tampak diam-diam cabul. Sudah melakukan itu sepanjang minggu: membuat kecantikan, dan membuangnya, dan membuat lebih banyak."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Outside the youth center, between the liquor store and the police station, a little dogwood tree is losing its mind; overflowing with blossomfoam, like a sudsy mug of beer; like a bride ripping off her clothes, dropping snow white petals to the ground in clouds, so Nature’s wastefulness seems quietly obscene. It’s been doing that all week: making beauty, and throwing it away, and making more.
