A Peek at New Orleans

  A city of great contrasts - swank limousines and
  derelicts side by side, blazing sun, high humidity, a splendid air-conditioned cathedral,
  the French Quarter over-run with tourists and
  students seeking cheap drinks - not my kind of town.

  I'm sure that there is a less frenetic component of great charm,
  but I will miss seeing that on this brief trip.

   Yet for one brief moment,
   I see and feel a touch of poetry.
