standing over a bridge


as the change
plops into the water

and the hobo

makes his wish.


the little girl

is chatting

whilst her icecream
drips to the cement.


seagulls

squeel
for crumbs
that the beach people leave behind.


hamburger
aroma
spills into the vicinity.

blue skies
are magnified

by cloud mirrors.


a forearm is tensed

and a grip squeezed

and everything
is put into is proper
place

,

and everyone
smiles heartily

and everyone takes
in 3 breaths


while
death
sighs

and goes for a quick swim
