ON A SUMMER EVENING
Atop the Exeter town hall
Our Lady of Justice
Back-lighted by sunset
Holds high her scales
And weighs the brassy
Marching strains
Of the Exeter town band
As we in our lawn chairs
Watch the frisking children
And smell the popcorn.
A pair of Mexican Hairless
Dogs parade by.
The band segues
Into a medley of waltzes.
