It’s evening
\nand, finally, I’ve got my market tomatoes and holy basil.<\/p>\n
More adults than children crowded the lines, but, in my raincoat,
\nI’m impervious.
\nWith no rancor, I manage to elbow through the throngs.<\/p>\n
I’ve funds enough for what I need
\nand almost feel I’ve been peculating
\nwhen I look inside my bag.<\/p>\n
Overhead, the rain of frogs
\nand lizards begins just as I
\ncatch one of the streetcars,<\/p>\n
that are like jars of cool air
\nfrom the steam of the sidewalks.
\nWaiting, still, are more shoppers<\/p>\n
for whom the city is a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
