From an ad for the Luxor, Cleopatra smiled down at him.
Some bus poetry in the sign next to him had some lines from Stevenson:
Home no more home to me, whither must I wander?
Hunger my driver, I go where I must.
Cold blows the winter wind over hill and heather
Thick drives the rain, and roof is in the dust.
Yes, home.
A Filipino man in a centuries old coat
snored.
