Sitting on the park bench
with the contented smile on my face
I watch the old lady toss
bread crumbs to the many pigeons.

The lonely sparrow looking lost
amongst the various colors of the scavengers
only getting an occasional crumb
from his bigger brethren

Lovers hold hands
and look longingly into each others eyes
as they stroll by
gay and happy

Butch and Betty
compare tattos
and short hairstyles
and tales of conquest

I listen intently
to the endless chatter
of my friend, close and loving
but silence is golden

Wishing for an ice cream
but no vendors in sight
I smell the incense
of the street book seller

A warm day
I enjoy the people watching
and the sounds and smells of the city
Life is so diverse

I really enjoy the sights and sounds you have captured here. I like to visit a place that is not my own familiar territory and just drink in whatever is happening. Yes, diversity, you've worded it so well. ~K~
