Sunday

alarm unheeded
distant side street calling
light traffic unexpected 
iced frapaccino cafes busy
oat milk hot chocolate froth
croissant vegan option
outside tables sun calling
Sunday morning after Saturday night
starting slowly disorganized 
pyjama supermarket dashes
bare feet eggs milk bread
under table pigeons 
at feet crumbs feed
mobile phone swimmers wrapped 
trapped napkin chilly wind blowing
hand-over parents
children swap riding scooters
dog walking prams pushing
electric bike child trailers
Instagram skinny-lattes
shopping flowers potted plants
normal city Sunday start
a day like any
Sunday
day
begins



Sunday


The sporty types - all lycra clad.
The early morning joggers
the marathon runners
the exercisers
the cyclists
the fishermen
the 'banger racers'
the 'surfer dudes'
and the 'horsey folk' in their big wagons - off to gymkhanas.

The self employed caterers off to a 'gig'.
The smokers missing tobacco
Those missing milk
The 'have you got any bread?'
The late risers
and the obviously 'hung over'.
Those just off to bed
and those looking,
for all the world,
like they've just got out of bed!

The vintage car drivers - out for 'a spin'
The paper readers.
The day trippers
sun worshipers
walkers
family beach goers.
The holiday makers returning home.
 
The forward planners - getting ready for the week.
The reluctant workers
The doers
The 'getting things done' people
The mowers of lawns
and the parental taxi drivers off with the kids,
to something or other!

The weekend water-sport lovers
the scuba-divers
the swimmers
the sailors
kayakers
canoers 
jetskiers
and the boat owners - with the speedboat in tow!

The black
The white
the green
and blue.

it's Sunday - so which one is you?
