Took this photo at the Arthaus hostel in Asheville, NC. The tricycle in the rain belonged to one of the two children of the live-in manager. It seemed to evoke in me the wabi, or exquisite sense of loneliness, of Japanese haiku writers, which is probably why I took four separate shots of it and wrote this little poem.
We did indeed find a book store with good chai, at Malaprops.
