A Stroll Down Our Street: A Villanelle

Each night I go on a stroll down our street 
The Esquire marquee, the lights, the glare
The pulse of the street never misses a beat

There’s a “Street Vibes” vendor, friendly, upbeat 
The boutique windows offer glitz and flair
Each night I go on a stroll down our street

The skateboarder on Telford, his death-defying feat 
A panhandler asks, a dollar to spare? 
The pulse of the street never misses a beat

Children at the plaza, dancing, so sweet 
A woman walks by, fresh flowers in her hair 
Each night I go on a stroll down our street

Chocolate at Graeter’s, a forbidden treat 
Vape smokers huddle in their shady lair
The pulse of the street never misses a beat

Clifton Market, old chums I greet 
The flautist plays, fire sirens blare
Each night I go on a stroll down our street
The pulse of the street never misses a beat
