Synecdoche (22 of 365)

Welcome to day 22. The following is another observation, of a morning. I was in Crows Nest near my home and so this came to me.

Synecdoche meaning "a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa"

Synecdoche 

And the pigeon became distressed
And the shit sprayed the path
And the pug chased
And the girl said "hello pidge!"
And the barista heard nothing 
And the nail salon owner glanced up
And the cars whittled by deaf
And the grocer stumbled 
And the clerk caught him 
And she looked into his startled eyes
And the butcher stood idle cleaver in hand
And the pigeon swatted by the tourist
And the tourist cursed
And his partner giggled 
And the little girl pointed and laughed
And the pigeon flew up 

And the Sunday bustled on
And coffee cups were filled and emptied
And feet stamped the pink pavers 

And the park grass turned blue
And then green
And then indigo 
And then black.
