Bright Yellow

Suggestions of Easter?
Beach Boys, ukuleles and feathery hair.
hours of the day eked out to show sunshine
to the cigarettes
and puke in the Grassmarket.

The grass warms and uncrumples
itself from the mud
beneath the city trees.
braving constant beatings of frisky
urinating
springtime
mutts.

Frisbees sail out fourth floor windows,
scattering pigeons cooing
Barbaraaannnn....
to the street sweepers.

the Easter Bunny panhandles for change.
it is for busfare he pleads, but the chocolate winestains
on his fur suggest otherwise.
