Pettygrove St

Seated on solid pine,

sounds of a city

stream through a screen,

unfiltered.

Dog park barks

Hollow balls

bouncing ‘neath hands

Rustling cans

Jingling tags

Softly slapping sneakers

on the sidewalk

Small talk

Goodbyes and goodnights

High heels

even-keeled

Car

doors

tires

horns

Windows down

bleeding out

bass

Lyrics sound

faint

Foreign words

often heard

I love this urban symphony.
