Cars splashing as they crawl
Buses groaning to their stops
Pink, green and blue hair
Sculptured and molded
Cafe lattes on tables
Books in boxes on pavements
Have you any spare change?
Asks the beggar on the box
Young, old and in-between
Walk in groups, pairs and alone
Laughing, talking, smoking
Music thumping out of bars
Still, rain falling on cars
