From a Balcony In Paris

From a Balcony in Paris

Fine rain 
open umbrella
Sitting on the balcony
Of a hotel 
Overlooking 
Haussmann-Saint Lazare.
Throngs of people
Something has changed
People drink
Starbuck 
Eat hamburgers
On the hoof.
Old restaurant closed
Converted
To fast-food joints.
I sigh
Drink from the bottle
Of Bordeaux 
To avoid 
Getting rainwater
In my wine.
