A tale of a street performer, inspired by Fandango’s Picture in the Flash Fiction Challenge
He Stands on his spot,
on the grass in the square,
doing his thing
while the others stare.

Today it is sunny,
so today – there’s a crowd
with his occasional movement
they cheer out loud
Sometimes a bird might land on his head
hoping for the chance that they might be fed
So inside his pocket – should there be a need
he has a small bag, of bird food or seeds
Little girl passing, trying to be brave
mirror man turns and gives her a wave
and watches others, as he gives them the time
in amusing but wordless performance in mime.
