sixth street serenade

(Guy Bainbridge, April 2000)

Take a window seat to look out on the street

Evening settles down on reds and blues and browns

You can take your time, nothing needs to rhyme

Watch the sunlight fade

Cabs are rolling through from Second Avenue

La Balconata tree, and coriander breeze

You don’t need to know when it’s time to go

No plans to be made, Sixth Street serenade

Watch the nighttime fall on metal stairway walls

Strollers passing slow, folks you’ll never know

Find a way somehow to feel the here and now

Make that feeling stay, Sixth Street serenade
