Contrasts
Pigeons on rooftops
contrast with masonry,
mixed colors under sun.
Paper cup person
in a cut crystal world,
The jester becomes a hero
but fails to get the girl.
People swimming in the pool
atop the Hilton,
Under six foot neon letters –
they have come together
from different places
at the same time
for different reasons.
They watch the jester
walk along the rooftops
among the pigeons
– they are friends –
The clouds in the background
float slowly
out of the picture
while the jester
and the pigeons
watch the people
watching back.
The jester is jealous,
the pigeons are not,
but some of the people
are jealous, too.
Contrasts with masonry
mixed colors under sun
