Monday, February 9, 2009: On the Street….Mr. Valentino Ricci, Florence

Why has the parasol faded from fashion?
Not so different from its dimmer cousin,
The parasol shields from sun, creates a dome
Of handheld shadow. The umbrella has withstood,
Has persevered, all pointy spine and batwing nylon,
Shuddering under the burden of its airy persistence.
