But I Digress

   Yes, the great residential palaces...
                                 —John Ashbery

I brought up the tents.
Which are coming down
all over town. My city.
Whatever precisely these

tents were a symptom of,
the side effects of their
removal tonight is snobvious.
Upon the sidewalk blocks

of Market between 6th (my
street) and 8th are hordes
of jangled humans contorted
this way and that, some in

groups, a few in pairs, many
flying solo to music so profound...
