In Chinatown, 2004 (from my collection of street scenes) -Mark Scantling
Store owners cupping their hands
To wave in the masses
Like creating a movement in water,
Like diving to the bottom of the ocean
In search of treasures to resurface
From the other side of the world.
The colors yellow and green.
The sidewalk smells warm.
The air, saltwater
And the metallic sweat
Of healing balls and chirping boxes.
Traffic mixes exhaust
With ducks roasting in their own fat
As the San Francisco
Rises in America,
As it always has,
From the East.
– from “Morning in Chinatown” by Suzanne Burns
FIFTY MILES TO COFFEE 
Love the use of light and dark in the Chinatown photo. The wet streets create a great reflection of the store lighting.
Thank you DeAnn, I think the lights and reflections add more drama – and hopefully gives a better feel for what the city is truly like.
