lashing down softly

but enough to drown - floods of water

as I head off to the editor - dodging through a sea of umbrellas I stop at Ayşe Chemist

to deal with a hangover caused by the artist

the night before holes in my shoes

have put my feet

in two baths of

hammam ritual

cold water to the Simit trolley

food bag ready to go

I stand by the bank

I eat sesame bread breakfast and late for my meeting

I stop to buy a watch

as the junction traffic

causes waves

as the precipitation

flows fast along

as commuters

from buses taxis and ferries
