Band Concert
BAND concert public square Nebraska city. Flowing
and circling dresses, summer-white dresses.
Faces, flesh tints flung like sprays of cherry blos-
soms. And giggles, God knows, gigglers, rival-
ling the pony whinnies of the Livery Stable
Blues.
Cowboy rags and nigger rags. And boys driving sorrel
horses hurl a cornfield laughter at the girls in
dresses, summer-white dresses. Amid the cornet
staccato and the tuba oompa, gigglers, God
knows, gigglers daffy with life's razzle dazzle.
Slow good-night melodies and Home Sweet Home.
And the snare drummer bookkeeper in a hard-
ware store nods hello to the daughter of a rail-
road conductor-a giggler, God knows, a giggler
-and the summer-white dresses filter fanwise
out of the public square.
The crushed strawberries of ice cream soda places, the
night wind in cottonwoods and willows, the lat-
tice shadows of doorsteps and porches, these
know more of the story.
Carl Sandburg
