a city event

cold
so i drove
having a look
and a coffee too
checking out the cakes today
hearing the melt of chocolate
and the territorial peals of 2 small applecrisped
girls under the nearby
coat rack squealed
like a torn pocket
filled with quarters for parking meters
rolling over the floor cadence
gasping guppies
airless from laughter intoxicant
so heady aromatic
hardly noticed the
landmine quirky in the recital room
not a lover's quarrel
just a little spat
