a solitary bridge
overgrown with green . . .
serenity

bustling city
a green paradise
hidden in the center
|
Central Park
a pond reflects
summer green
|
curious hands
dip into the pond
who lives there?

frozen and forgotten
the children continue
to play their song
|
frozen bodies
capture a secret
a day in the park
|
secret place—
we are hiding
in plain view
|
garden fountain
stone children
watch life go by

seats near home plate
enjoying my hot dog
more than the game |
the crowd erupts . . .
juicy hot dog
falls to the ground
|
homerun
everyone stands
to catch the action
|
glaring sun—
in the stands
a ball hits me

ten pins down
doing a victory dance
in my goofy shoes |
squatting lad
'bout to get
a ball to his balls
|
only one pin . . .
she granny rolls
the ball

neon light and
ugly shoes . . .
still the perfect date
