A Fountain of Day Care

Within the park across the way
Water from a fountain playing
Dress up
Smooths such a sheen of imitation
That even the concrete underneath
Seems soft.
Faster,
As if to say the days-a-slip,
It mocks the chatter
Stockings make
Networking with slacks and skirts.
Brick, after reporting
The sound of heels hurrying to work,
Instantly forgets
The dissonance of city life,
And lying back,
Calmly, patiently awaits
The symphony of fingertips.

Bob--Now I must go find a park, a park with a fountain, for you have made it sound wonderful!
