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?

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

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

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

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

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

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
