Civic Center 11 am

Stainless steel, brushed,
the ring stamped with a crown.

It glows gold in the hushed
sun-flooded bazaar down

from City Hall's verdegris dome.
Among pollarded trees stands a lone

vendor selling pretzels and Coke.
He seemed the king of the world

that moment he tipped his hat and spoke.
