Man in the park
shares a bench, feels
a breeze, hugs
the landscape.
the sun, warm.
~ the companion fine and fair.
~ the companion fine and fair.
birds whistle, small creatures
are watchful
Man in the park
approaches a bench, feels
the heat, hugs
the high hedge.
the sun, light.
~ the companion far too fair.
~ the companion far too fair.
birds take flight, small creatures
are watchful
Men in the park
embrace, dust clouds the sky, hugs
at the ground
the sun, burns.
~ the companion ashen in despair.
~ the companion ashen in despair.
birds caw, small creatures
are watchful
~ the park.
A bench. No breeze relieves the heat, hugs
~ the park.
A bench. No breeze relieves the heat, hugs
through a gun --
the sun, blisters.
~ the companion, innocent dare.
~ the companion, innocent dare.
birds migrate, small creatures
are watchful
Each season returns
the park to the man.

Decipher: A white man buys a gun to use when he comes upon the unacceptable. In a city park enclosed with very high hedges that he has chosen to make his home he comes upon a man of a different color talking to a women he would consider pursuing as his own. He clears the way for his intentions with a gun shot to the other man's stomach. He gets 30 years behind bars. The other maintains a fragile, distant inter-racial friendship because he survives the surgery. Both friends have 'a day in the park' PTSD.
