From East Ohio Street in driving rain
Downtown Pittsburgh emerges
Huddled under blanket of black,
Its skyscrapers, lit by stray sunlight ray.
For one bewitched instant,
The sparkling fabled Land of Oz.
From behind Gulf's golden tower
Koppers Building's dome,
A multi-carat diamond
Blinking with uncanny light.
Then the clouds rearrange.
Magic steals away
And leaves behind
Nothing but the gray of day.
