Markets spring to life with sumptuous bright fruit
sun-filled street awake since early dawn
flamboyant vendor with a zest for urban trend
city shoppers green scene feast, their smart phone on mute
lentil, pulse, and chickpea pouch with fair trade prawn
conurbation bounce as point and shoot round every bend
free wheel deli coffee kick, cool set groove music blast
high jinx on a boulevard‘s summer route drawn
ringtone heatwave torrent from each topup voucher penned
smorgasbord of energetic chatter, big smoke thoroughfare cast
jumping bean patois without sleep your in group savy friend
