Madrid in summer

The men work
And the women clean
Sweep the sidewalks
Tip the empty beer cans
in the far too tiny wastebasket.
The man walks by with a Mahou in his hand,
Construction, odd jobs,
Smoking, drinking, watching women
Que guapa under his breath.
Celestino points to your bread
and makes a motion
to show it will engorge you.
It gives you a lot of pleasure
The workmen with gloves
holding huge rolls of bubble wrap
Spinning across the sidewalk in curves
like Dancers in the snow.
