Five

Five days!  Woo!  In honor of that, here are a painting and a poem that I've always liked. 

Figure Five in Gold Artist: Charles Demuth, originally uploaded by ccsgallery280.

The Great Figure

Among the rain

and lights

I saw the figure 5

in gold

on a red

fire truck

moving

tense

unheeded

to gong clangs

siren howls

and wheels rumbling

through the dark city

~William Carlos Williams
