The Bookstore
A brown man with a full beard passes
I continue to read.
A young white man--handsome--
stops and sips at the fountain directly my left
An old women, wearing a winter coat with leopard print--wealthy looking--
hobbles by
A middle aged women--indeterminate--
walks slowly by
I catch a whiff of cigarette smoke
I say a quick prayer for her
I continue to read.
