Mid-Day Surrounding

Silent street doused in yellow
Splashes on solitary pedestrians
Rolling wheels jiggle the silence
Scarily portending shivery fear
Chirking squirrels chisel their tones
While a jugalbandi of cuckoo-crow overtones
Houses clink the palate to water the mouth
Accompanied chatter befriending badmouth
Zapping channels sound on high frequency
Aged serials nap to snoring telecast
