Firework Display
in Smalltown USA
a warm summer
evening
a slight breeze
patriotic music
dramatic blasts of color, design, light, and sound
blankets or chairs covering
virtually every square inch
amazingly subdued and awed crowd
small children’s muted voices
softly sharing
this happy feeling
of responsible freedom for all

virtually every square inch
of spacious
gently sloping grass
peaceful feeling
of safetyamazingly subdued and awed crowd
small children’s muted voices
softly sharing
this happy feeling
of responsible freedom for all

This was better than San Diego's fireworks where a computer glitch set them all off at once and what was to have been a 20 minute show with music lasted 20 seconds with a lot of noise and too much at once to see anything in particular.
