English Journal 8 (January 2008) 23
covered in fresh fish and eels, freshwater stingrays, everything you could conceivably eat out ofthe local river, all rotting in the unrefrigerated glory of this fish-hangar. I was immediatelygreeted by a scaly young man, scaly in that he was literally covered with fish scales, and heurged me to look over his fine selection of moderately fresh produce. Underneath the tin roofhalogen globe lights were hanging down the center aisle, casting yellow-red light. It baked thesmell somewhat.After only under 10 minutes, I hurried quickly back out into the market, carefullyavoiding stepping on the piles of caterpillars being hawked by street-vendors. I ventured backto the cesspool market, and stopped to look out for a minute. The sky was grey and seemed tohang closely above the high rises bordering the square pool. All along the cement walls, holdingthe pool now below me, were painted Coke ads, where rats scampered over the heaps of trashdecomposing at the pasty green water’s edge.There was sort of a basement feeling to the surrounding bazaar, closed hallways full offading clothes and discarded cookware, the occasional shady-stalker after your wallet, asoccasional as a patch of natural light, or a glimpse out to the pool.Outside I noticed it was beginning to get dark, as less light fell through the tangledjumble of power lines creating a canopy over the street-tops, in between the stained high rises.Jon HartmannEnglish Journal 8 (January 2008) 24
