29

I stroll through the lantern-lit street
Brushing my hair with my hand
    each time the wind blows
Looking
    not sure what for

I spy it from afar
A newspaper
    folded into a hat
Comics on one side
    crossword sprawled on the other

I ask
    how much
Then pay the price
And continue my walk
With the hat perched
    on the peak of my head
