Walnuts
Walnuts like wrinkled faces cascading.


Walnuts

Like tourists disgorged from a sparkling bus,
a herd of nutcases on day release
from some far away sanatorium,
wrinkled, troubled faces chattering in confusion,
they spill in tanned and serious array,
avid to gawk in architectural wonder,
filling the space with meaningless noise,
only to leave again in united incomprehension.



Line count: 8
