Another sunny day has made a start
A swift can reel and pivot 'gainst the sky
The distance sees the gulls pursue their art.
 
An insubstantial cloud through which to fly -
A vapour trail disintegrates again -
A pigeon flutters past, his luck to try.
 
A "normal" sort of scene, then, in the main
The rooftops are reflecting summer light
A siren wailing past reveals the strain
That waited in obeisance through the night.
