Along the Streets of Cairo
(1998)

I wandered thro’ each charter’d street,
near where the charter’d Nile does flow
and down, around, and thru the market,
place, of Cairo—and saw in every face
I met, marks of poverty, pride and woe.

But mostly I saw thro’ the mid-day streets
how youthful people, walk, and congregate,
men and women, police and kids, cars
and more cars circling around the
Hotel Sheraton, near a Nile bridge.

I wandered thro’ the Museum of Cairo
((across the Nile, Iron Bridge) (near
the high tower, where a café is));
I walked down almost ever isle, and
saw antiquity at its best…! back in
’98.

trip.
