Cityscape: Mirth on Parade

Image borrowed from Bing


Cityscape: Mirth on Parade

The workmen one street over
are bouncing on pogo sticks
atop slabs awaiting framing.

They are constantly singing,
earlier Leonard Cohen mostly.
Sometimes Neil Diamond.

Occasional Madonna.

Now they are beating drums
and marching, the guy with the
nail gun spinning cartwheels,

the one dressed as Snow White
twirling dual flaming batons
and contemplating sequins.
