tall green trash bins
stand sentinel - each side -
for this cavalcade of one
branches wave, leaves applaud
the stout school crossing guard
flags me by
keepers at the drive-through gate
nod in recognition -
a goblet of dark roast
handed over in salute
a stop light that's never green
is evergreen
until this parade passes
exiting to the expressway
