In the park between the playground and joggers along the disfigured sidewalk the artist community awakens and the rigid line of soldiered easels salute side by side in anticipation for the perfect image As the day sets, people lives demonstrate poses and brushes dressed in brilliant tints, ice skate upon each canvas giving breath to fictional places Beside the mischievous fountains grumpy old men in suspenders play chess and checkers with bad luck, little children search for treasure, and the pigeons solicit in hats and canes for food When evening falls the easels say goodnight to the men in their suspenders the sky meets the sun for their last drink of the day and watch everyone turn home below the bourbon sunset |

It reminds me of New York too. It's like a tiny movie. Great images. "and the pigeons solicit in hats and canes for food" I love those pigeons. |

I'll have a another shot of that bourbon sunset....meaning I read this twice and will read it thrice...I get a little tipsy after the second, but love it enough to go for total inebriation... Got drunk on the form and content... _________ ___ice ><> |
