794. STEEL SUSPENDED POOL - ABOVE A SKYSCRAPER

STEEL SUSPENDED POOL -
ABOVE A SKYSCRAPER

Feral cats were chasing their tails and
other things they couldn't find beneath the
now-blessed Tower of Saint Marcosi Square.
High up above, reflected light shone off an old
Orthodox cross, I'd guess gilded in gold.
Somewhere, an accordion played.
-
'Did'ja see yesterday's paper?' the man with
the suitcase said. 'Yes, but when I saw it it
was today's paper! - isn't that all so confusing?'
No, I thought to myself, sometimes it
just happens that way.
-
So alike, there are many mysteries we
cannot understand - water to vapor
to ice and back to water again. It's
all the same, but all so very different.
