People On Parade
My bench provides a perfect view
Of people on parade.
I love to watch each passing person
Artfully displayed.
Some taxi yellow hi-top sneakers,
Jeans with ripped-up knees,
Tie-dye sweatshirts, neon caps
And college-boasting tees…
A toddler on a scooter
With a helmet rosy pink,
A couple on a nearby bench
With wine in cups to clink…
The dog folk pulling leashes
And the bikers blasting rap,
The nannies wheeling babies
Holding toys or in a nap.
A New York stew of humans
Makes the afternoon so nice,
The flavors so appealing
With variety the spice.
