A Llama in Times Square

There are cars

Filling the square,

Some as old as my childhood

And some as new as yesterday’s sun.

Signs line the sides of the road,

Selling, advertising, promoting,

Proof of a thousand lives in

This big city.

Traffic is backed up

And people peer through their windows

To the commotion ahead.

In the middle of the street,

A llama in Times Square.
