some place names

can only be seen clearly

in heavy rain

 

beads of water magnify it bit by bit

until it’s so big anyone

can go in and out at will

you can enjoy the sight

with your eyes closed

 

and in the beads of water bit by bit

refracted

reflected on a sign

there it is: people’s central street section two

 

here I open my umbrella

and the beads of water come rolling down
