Parade

Wicker chair in the bay window
Here come’s the drums beat tap
The cartwheeling schoolgirls

I sit two feet tall with my shoes
clicking together the drum beat tap
My fingers marching tap tap tap

Here comes candy smacking
through the metal caging bars
Twittering birds around my feet

Crinkles of plastic join the band
confetti of parades dancing down
around my wicker window beat
