and indeed there will be time
for the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
rubbing its back upon the window panes;

to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
there will be time to murder and create,
and time for all the works and days of hands
that lift and drop a question on your plate;
which phrase from the excerpt most clearly conveys the speaker's leisurely tone?
a. prepare a face
b. all the works
c. will be time
d. days of hands
