i walked to the office today
it was raining
my heart was heavy
so was my mind
with memories of cities
trieste, columbus, chicago, new york,
toronto, london, warsaw, bonn,
cleveland, raleigh and istanbul
and i recalled a simic poem
about his city he walked under rain
with a burning enthusiasm about
a volume of poetry he bought
with most of the money in his pocket
i had the same dread of going back
to my dark lonely room
i was as broke
but i did not belong to a city
and lost my enthusiasm
about my 'shelley'
'model categories' does not evoke
the same impact as
'universe of everlasting things'
for some reason
and the rain
it relentlessly followed me
to the office
