Life On the Street

A monochrome of boho days segue one another surreptitiously. Endless pantomimes of idle chatter flutter by. Cantilever bridge, a one stop halting site for gossip and suspense. Small talk, bespoke winged creature, Combe of pleuron. Turin shroud spotter in the mise en scene melting pot. The spirited stride of pavement strollers prompted by agenda. Metatarsals on the march. Street vendor’s spooky cry with banjo beating busker at his side. Dirt pan bellow and brittle strum about the orange alert ahead. Crowded car park, careening bus, frustrated taxi driver rank and file. Backstreet Barney or kerfuffle on the lawn. Swing sign overhead, a pawn in every trending breeze. Office block malarkey cutting capers for the press. New age ante-fix, the cover tile for corruption. Whistle blowing wag inside the city centre fault line. Brass neck reservoir of hoodwink high and low. Harassed mother, barefoot beggar nervously extends her rusted tin. Guilt edge coin as bandage to our shoddy scruple. Bag lady on the fringe of some haute couture complex. Stasi-like security whose bluff veneer belies an inner bludgeon. Crouton salad diner has his finger on the pulse but not his pulse rate! Tycoon in transition with an open brief! Teflon tyrant back to the future. Ambulance chaser …. legal eagle…..with fortune in misfortune their calling card . To the limit and beyond like an offshore Ansbacher. Noonday bell interloper at the scuttlebutt tavern. Seconds out, moments out, hours in a hari kari haze. Sensei’s of the left filling void with vacuum. Laboured diatribe against dynasty, trite slogans, empty rhetoric, mannah from heaven? All this from the cadres of social despotism! Passage, the pollinating insect of aroha. Behind the rhythm of the grind a broad leaf grain of hope may sprout. Green shoots of bounty. Latent sidewalk bloomer. Blossom by default or tender impulse
