Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write an "in media res" poem - in other words, a poem that begins in the mddle of something like an action, conversation, etc. I tweaked the prompt a little and wrote about someone pausing in the middle of their action to appreciate something.

busker
in concourse
playing his heart
slowing
my bustling -
pause for art

Cool soundplay (alliteration and rhyme) with "busking" and "bustling."
