A Street Show

A busy city is a big street show

Vast, entertaining, full of life in different ways

Being full of so many things

So many people walking

Often trying to hurry up

Going somewhere

Doing something

From going to work

Finding a new job

Buying something brand new

Renting something real old

Getting candy

Getting tools

Getting clothes

Getting jewels

Getting drinks

Getting whatever

Doing dancing

Doing writing

Doing singing

Doing acting

Doing texting

Doing talking

Doing parties

Doing whatever

Besides all the people

All going through their own lives

There are all the vehicles coming

All the cars

All the taxis

All the buses going

All of them honking

All of them squealing

All of them rumbling

All of them screeching to a halt

Whenever a stop light just so happens to appear

All the fire trucks

And all the police cars blaring away

Besides all the vehicles

All going through the city

There are all the buildings

So many

So bright

So colorful

All the food being eaten

All out in public

From bagels

To slices of pizza

To sandwiches

To chips

To their wonderful taste

To their wonderful smell in the air

Even besides that

There are all the things that people have

From holding their suitcases

Their canes

Their bags

Their bottles

Their phones

Their umbrellas

Their notebooks

And so much more

There is so much happening

There is so much present

There is so much in a busy city

Afterall, a busy, really busy city

It’s a big street show
