Dressed or naked.

Tired or awake.

Crying or singing.

“I am going to the Park”.

 

Indoor toys or dolls.

Animals, puzzles and pacifiers.

“I am going to the Park”.

 

On the corner, homeless in the rain

He gives an umbrella as

“I am going to the Park”.

 

In a nap or night dream.

School or subway too crowded to sit.

“I am going to the Park”.

 

On long lines,

Short lives

Missed chances,

Bitter chaos.

 

My little girl sees paradise as she is

Going to the Park.
