Disney Parade Haiku #2
Who loves a parade? Well, judging from the tightly packed, slightly sweaty crowds that line Main Street, U.S.A. every afternoon, just about every guest in the Magic Kingdom. The parade JB Conway saw was not quite like the one you saw...
The haiku theme for this month is the jammin' July. And what jams more than a Disney parade? Through haiku, we'll step off the curb and march along with the magic.
In the Magic Kingdom, with the heat, the humidity, the hordes, it's possible sometimes to slip into a state of psychedelia.
JB Conway may have crossed into that state while walking down Main Street, U.S.A.
When you think about it, though, you really are in a parade while on Main Street: you may not be standing atop a float, you may not be waving to the clusters of kids below, but you're marching, marching, eyes focused straight ahead like lasers, determined to beat the other floats to the standby line of Space Mountain.
Mostly, though, you're not leaking confetti...
If you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
