The boy in blue denims
among the tide of
pedestrians
waves at the parade
imagining himself
on the shoulders of
the flag bearer.

After all, any contact
can be consolatory

So much is happening
but nothing’s taking place
inside connections
unheard of, like
his two parents
leaving him out alone
on the busy street
similar to the toy cars
in his dreams
lacking wheels.
