SUPERIMPOSITION

Walking looking
so pale under arches— 
cold and long past

window after 
window—I notice I've
become the silent

witness—to 
my own 
translucent 

reflection gradually 
beginning to brighten and 
fill-in again;

not through its 
participation—but more 
surely through being 

imbued—
with each passing 
streak of of their 

variously 
orange and 
yellowish faces—

each one of them 
hunkered-
down low in a tall booth—and each one

of them hunched 
so wonderfully
warm and greedy—over its own

furiously
red-
napkin blotted 

tray 
of solid- 
golden food.
