A Busy Street

A Busy Street  By, Francisco Alfredo Lopez

The ray of the morning sun begins to
come through the buildings and the skyline
the street lights start to instantly turn off
as the sun’s heat and energy touches them
a crowd of people gather at the coffee shop
as it opens for business serving the needed
caffeine that will get the energy pumping
for a very long and hard workday
the newspaper stands just finishes getting
the latest issue to start selling as a line of
readers form to start buying it
the cars and buses of traffic move quickly
up and down the busy street taking people
to their jobs where they earn their
hard earning money
it appears that it will be another busy day
in a very busy downtown street.
