forward march
in that glazed
daze of being
mostly elsewhere
not here crossing Main
in front of the Scientology
building where a dozen
pigeons write
cryptographic
messages
on the sidewalk,
but this small flock
of humanity seems sadly
dispirited by cold flurries,
noon, downtown
cafes wafting grease
when one of the forlorn
almost to the far curb
calls out in a voice
like broken glass:
somebody dropped
a wallet. A few heads
swivel, a few
check pockets
or purses but foray on
so broken glass stoops
picks up the wallet
and with a backward
glance ambles on.

Akihabara (秋葉原) is a district in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (秋葉が原, "autumn leaf field"), which ultimately comes from Akiba (アキバ), named after a fire-controlling deity for a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869.
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (秋葉原電気街 Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.
