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.
