overtones !!it's snow here and heating only works manually and turned off
radiators are blazing out heat

*Sakura Hotel *in February
looking out our 13th floor window
see Kunming shining to the misty hills
rooftops speckled with solar panels
dusty cactus in pots on window sills
glittery glass buildings
wet black bitumen ribbons
*Dong Feng Dong Lu*
advertising signs six storeys high
white chalk characters on pavement slabs
before broken beggars
thin bent woman balancing a pole of
two bamboo baskets of bright red strawberries
as the book-keeper
balances his books
*Cathay* yesterday**
*People's Republic of China *today* *
tomorrow .

Some formatting may go out the window, and italics, but the gist of it is
there. (lu = street.)
