When years from now, in times of peace

(For this concern may be no need):
“Well, which was M.K.’s favorite place
That the “Here lived” plaque should grace…?”
-My vote goes to Minetta Street

..Tja, welches von M.K’s Quartieren
Soll die ,,Heir wohnte”-Tafel zieren…?”
-Ich stimme fur Minetta Street.
