Reflections of Chandler and Marlowe In The Hot Humid Heat of The City
Hot humid day in Vancouver
the most humid since I’ve moved here 8 months ago
I walk the streets of the City
like I’m Philip Marlowe
since Raymond Chandler’s prose
always describes hot muggy days in LA
when his private eye is out
walking about.
Coincidentally I see a whole bunch of women out today
wearing evening dresses
and they don’t appear to be part of a wedding party
Just out and about wearing evening dresses
on a day hot and humid at that.
I really feel like I’m in a Chandler novel today
hot and humid and feeling sticky
out on the sidewalks and streets
and hotter women in hot tight dresses
making a sizzling summer day
sizzle even more.

in Vancouver, British Columbia.
