5060. RIGHT NOW

RIGHT NOW
Right now the gray day dawns while the baby cries
and the old dog is barking and the matron is washing
with a dampened cloth as the taxi comes closer to pick
up a fare and the policeman at the corner yet sits in his
car and one by one the peddlers are returning to once
again set up their tables and wares while the flower-sellers
and the wholesale florists are already well at work wetting
down the sidewalks and the tables where people will pass.
It's almost like this every morning, or like this almost every
morning, not that the difference matter or the matter differs.
