Rita’s was busy With an early evening dinner rush And I couldn’t stand the noise Of so many self contained egos At one time, so I walked down to the park Dedicated to some famous son of the south That no one but the locals knew. It was green space and I had time So the bench and I got to know each other Through means of tactile perceptions Not always pleasant. I let Lilly drift into my head And pictured her again Dark medium length hair that fell across her face When she leaned over to whisper or touch Framed a face that was not perfect in beauty But held a smile and eyes to touch private places In your heart one normally did not allowed people to see. Her way of distracting and diverting talk To meet whatever end she chose to pursue And the joy she took When I caught her doing just that. We used to joke The because she was shorter than me By more than a few inches That she’d watch the ground for us If I’d keep an eye on the clouds. Those clouds… The ones that swept into her eyes that day Dismissing the sun I had found As she told me an old friend was back in town And she needed to know, To be sure those years ago Were not wrong… “Hey You!” I heard someone bark causing me to jump as if guilty of a crime when all I was guilty of in fact was remembering someone I’d almost let inside.. “Yeah?” I said into the form of a beat cop frowning at me with some distaste. “Park is closed.” He grunted, “Move along” I just nodded and rose, Pointing my nose back up the street And followed the smell of Rita’s cooking Back to Jean and that Kid… Figuring I might as well amuse myself And quit remembering what was now No more. |

The emotions expressed are real enough if not the story. Deeply felt, Captain.  Sunkissed. |

'It was green space and I had time So the bench and I got to know each other Through means of tactile perceptions Not always pleasant.' and 'I let Lilly drift into my head And pictured her again Dark medium length hair that fell across her face When she leaned over to whisper or touch Framed a face that was not perfect in beauty But held a smile and eyes to touch private places In your heart one normally did not allowed people to see.

Nice to see you were relaxing while that poor kid was doing all those dishes!!! |
