But I Digress

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

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...
