it came and went
once again
that
special day
the
annual
woodward avenue
dream cruise
in
detroit
the motor city
and
i love
how
on this day
everyone
does things
their own way
most anything goes
as long as
you are
fully enjoying it
and
you are not
hurting anyone
like the group
who moved
their
living room
to the curb
to watch the cruise
in comfort
and the
young man
smiling
on his
mini-bike
a tiny minnow
with a motor
amidst
a great sea
of
classic cars
mobile crime units
pedestrians
traffic lights
and
waves
of happiness
adventure is worthwhile.

When we have a cruise-in we enjoy a wide variety of things, food, music, cars and shiny objects sparkled, while my grandies were told, “No touching!” more often than at a china store! I love the living room furniture and how you described the “tiny minnow swimming along amidst the sea of cars!” Fun stuff and did you eat anything yummy, Beth?
