\nAmid sleek hardbacks,
\nworn secondhand,
\npulpy softcovers and
\nthumbed magazines,
\nwe drink Tao Teas,
\nfinger Ugly Baby toys.<\/p>\n
\non the one day of mild precipitation,
\nHey Jude on XM radio,
\npassing through wilderness
\nof too much red rock,
\nendless arroyos
\nsmudged rouge in the rain.<\/p>\n
\ntwo tourists still hustle,
\nbright-rustling in their
\npropylene ponchos.
\nStreets outside wide-empty
\nas south to north rim.<\/p>\n
