.
Pickled beets mingle boiled eggs; a pretty periwinkle purple.
.
Yellow and purple tinted fingers; dandelions and elderberries distilling; musty aroma...

to the exact center of their city
they tried everything
cattle prod fire hose blow dryer
ineluctable forces of nature

starving for attention
needing to be heard
children who have something to say

Bubbles in the form of dancing smiles.
Up, up, up they go before they pop.
Belief in better days ahead - party
Block in parking lot, petting zoo out back.
Lean in and hear, “local library lends books.”
