Drunken watchman tale and rough Cairo recollections
A tall Jerusalem type, under alcohol, argues with a lamppost on 5th Street as a watchman intervenes. He claims money is tight, jokes about being sober, and reveals panic about a looming town crisis. The piece shifts to rough anecdotes about Cairo, Illinois, recalling a violent past and hardy street talk from travelers.
