A Downpour of Light


      And the men come on again ; the flashy and the penitent, the beaten ones and the wise guys, the hangdog heel thieves and the disdainful coneroos, walking, half crouched, through a downpour of light, like men walking through rain. The frayed and the hesitant, the sleek and the bold, the odd fish and the callow youths, the good humored bindle stiffs and the bitter veterans.
