A fight over Roweena is about to break.
Lizards scatter, tables turn, people gather.
"Five to one on John Blake."
"Six to four on Stan that he knocks him down. Either way the victor gets the crown."
and the loser will eat the largest steak.
Ladies shout stop, don't, they laugh and turn away.
Kids push in to see the action.
Dogs bark.
Old people remain sitting down.
There's another one down by the lake.
"It's all too much fun," says John Blake.
"I have already won."
Burgers, corn, squash, checkers, flies, melon, music.
A short distance away a bird watches from its nest.
Long shadows creep in from the west.
