Suddenly
it
was
another
day
,
another
noon
.
They
sat
with
white
fans
and
dishes
of
cool
,
trembling
lime
Jell

glided

It
whispered
,
an
ocean
breeze

Delicate
as
maple
leaves
,
fresher
than
creek
water

the
majesty
of
cats
prowling

noontide

the
machine
,
his
Panama
hat
afloat
in
Vaseline
above
his
ears
,

salesman
from
Gumport
Falls

machine

a
rubber
tread

soft
,
shrewd
,
whipped
up
their
scalded
white
sidewalk
,
whirred
to
the
lowest
porch
step
,
twirled
,
stopped

The
salesman
leaped
out
,
blocked
off
the
sun
with
his
Panama
.
In
this
small
shadow
,
his
smile
flashed

He
lifted
black

A
smell
of

blew
on
