Notice The Festival by rose cook

Let’s join the everyday festival –

the festival of street people walking

the festival of café people talking

the festival of bears, all kinds

the festival of waiting, a quieter pace

of clock watching, tick tock, leg shifting

the festival of sighs, all around,

notice the festival of feet, of shoes

the festival of beaks and paws

the festival of wings and berries

the festival of reflections with windows, water,of horizons, of chimneys, of roof-life

the festival of leaves, of crowds,of small blades of grass,

of glints in eyes

the festival all over town.
