sounds trailing the end of a night block party
jaded beer chortles
and weak merriment
like a grandmotherly fall
a boy's loud rallying whistles
go unanswered
a man's sudden kissing of a stranger
erupts into a blend of accusations and wine whines
"it was bella lagosee,you fucker! i told you!" a coarse immigrant's voice yelled, then instantly thick liquid splattered the pavement
long silence--broken by a muffled meow and a bird seemingly in pain,perhaps clamped in the teeth of the cat
sound of someone bouncing a basketball along a sidewalk, a
quieting and placating thing like a truce on a battlefield
