Townhouse Conductor

edit2;

As if conducting silent symphony,
the master-vulture shifts, presiding from
a gleaming copper-glinting gable while below
well-off dog-walkers, never glancing up
(or down), ignore their eunuchs' leavings.

One block east a second buzzard
stands prepared to play her part,
dusky evening dress contrasting with
emerald illegal-tended lawns.

Still master-vulture perches, anthracite;
directs, anticipating townhouse coda
on a page much closer than
dog-walkers thoughtlessly believe.




Thanks to the new critics.  In this edit I've tried to implement the advice, including @UB 's to turn up the alliteration.  As to @knot's concerning sound effects, rather than try to recast the whole thing as choreography and dancing-master, I qualified the symphony as silent Wink  - see how that works.
