Streetsweeper

A man emerges from the sea at dawn a streetsweeper He then works his way across a small industrial harbour city pushing amp pulling his trusty buggy amp broom and zigzagging from one beloved zebra crossing to another This princely pedestrian is prone to spontaneous outbursts of poetry inspired by the ephemeral things he finds on ordinary streets lost love letters amp modest moments Unnoticed by most passersby he strolls through the sleepy CBD wanders between ordinary suburban bungalows dances in the cemetery and takes the highway through the swamp out of town until at sunset three days later his odyssey ends by a river
