a marching band came by
this morning
in stark white uniforms
~ floating by ~
even steps throughout
left to right
in the middle and centered squared
marching all the way up the cove

I saw their feathered hats
tipped back
in great salutes
in bright blue skies above
as they passed
right by
in front of these grand
viewing stands

I heard their last
music playing
as they trailed
out of sight
on their way south
to join in
just another
popup parade
