Walking on a street

Honk honk, rumble tumble

Red bangle green bangle red bangle green bangle

Pigeons swooshing upwards, feather gliding down

Manly swagger, red splatter

Children 1, 2, 3

Phosphorescent lamps of kerosene

Snap crackle crackle

Bottles of Snapple apple

Bright plastic tightly wrapped

Vendors selling movies and rap

Water and ice in a big earthern pot

Sequined sari in the door caught

Man in saffron riding away

Green, blue, orange fountain on a road so gray

A street play happening live

People spilling out of the five knot five

Home is where the heart is,

Walking on a street sure beats this.
