It is turning the lights up over Rambla.
Children gather,
clowns and poseurs,
an organ-grinder, a ventriloquist,
cheaters, performers of tricks,
living statues and this
one’s rising from the crypt…

It is certainly laughter that’s rising at it.

The crowd is rolling over Rambla
unhurriedly, roaring, and it’s
becoming so easy
and free.
