Toy Town

we strolled midtown for awhile
hints of sun followed us beneath the 
bavarian alps i was taken by 
the snow capped mountains creating 
a brilliant show of diamond crystals 
calmly reflecting from storefront windows 
holiday displays of santa klaus at his best
i would say we continued past rows of homes 
collected like doll house's just to the left a tiny 
bike shop i rushed in grabbing the new basket 
to fill with fresh granny smiths from thee upcoming 
market in view just to the right african violets lined 
the the entrance way leading
to the hidden park 
a quiet nook in the middle of town square i thought 
masculine most of all quite charming face to face with 
the subtle statue of thomas mann my form changed 
i was abruptly aroused by his daringness fine liturature 
art and playwright mann consumed me with folklores 
gothic tales the infamous lounging of salzsburg crest
instantly a brisk chill blew over my foundation dazed i was 
walking upon frauenkirch 
our lady of munich doting downward to my tiny existence
i gathered myself in a very suspicious haste walking backwards 
staight into the kneeling black horse knightless his back emptied 
a daunting task for the bishop beyond my fascination 
of castles christmas past nutcrackers wooden trains walking dolls 
springs bolts screws and coo coo clocks sounding off at midday 
displaying the woodcutters the milking maids in german town
