rain threatens the little culture
crowd standing on the esplanadechildren run through puddles
this poet writes nothing -
raindrop erases his pageumbrellas appear amid the art fans
awaiting the postmodern spectacle- then it begins -
giant woman face blooms
around omnimax domemouth, nose, lips
project from glowing lights
& silent switches huddledin small white tent
casting image ontothe vast round wall
one giant says her girlfriend was
raped and beaten by the policespent months in a coma
the boyfriend beaten much worse
never recovered his brilliant witsa tear streaks her huge visage
gleaming in the rainy nightbeside the paseo and McDonalds
