In Philly

roaming Philadelphia 9, 10, 11 streets

i see again Manhattan, fall of ‘03,

a sudden crashing downpour over

42nd and Broadway

and one of the great spectacles -

from nowhere - somewhere - suddenly

a firm of sellers huckstering umbrellas

— as if they waited in the shadows for

this, their moment to punt out brollies for 6 & 7 dollars a throw

then, the heavens stopped sundering and the umbrella merchants vanished -
