    Can you imagine?

     

    There they are, fluttering in the wind.

    the sun glinting off the plastic

    covering the pretty little Easter dresses

    Pink,

    blue,

    white,

    like the colors you give someone

    for a brand new baby.

     

    Fluttering there,

    right next to the green sports jersey

    All hanging on the wrought iron fence,

    next the guy with a table full of CDs and shoes.

     

    Can you imagine?

    Being all excited

    about going to the corner

    for your new Easter dress?

     

    Picture the little girls

    choosing their new dress

    from the choice of 3.

    Same style

    different color.

     

    Groups of people

    roam the streets

    like roving bands of

    primitive nomads

     

    getting comfort

     

    Or sitting

    chin in hand

    watching

    waiting

    watching

    as cars go by

     

    with people that have somewhere to go.
