Sunlight beats the lake
A silent drumbeat calling
In the bleary-eyed
Worshippers of Ra;
Bicycle chains clicking, rattling —
Amateur swimmers
Gingerly dipping
Toes in icy cold waters
As languid boaters
Paddle lazily,
Breaking the bright golden bridge
Stretching cross’d the waves.
The park green’s crowded,
Soccer balls, hoops, and frisbees,
Old, young, and younger —
Cinco de Mayo
In full swing; electric strings
Wailing at the bar,
Security men
And drunk revelers alike
Roasting in the sun.
I love this 🙂
Thanks!
