Ducks in the San Pedro Creek

By Nathaniel Bronson

A militia marching
new recruits wobbling
and buglers all around

The succubus
in a skin-tight black dress
projecting herself to adoring fans

Nourishment
falls like confetti
celebrating their existence

Bizzaro businessman
donning their best suits
to meet the rain

Wind-up toys
set loose in a bathtub
aimlessly gliding across the surface
