Bench, Columbus Parkette

Sleep today; today is sleeping.
Kids are playing.

Sleep today; flags are
waving. Opens are closing.

Sleep today sun
is leaking park is edging.

Columbus is crying, the natives are
hiding.

Behind walls an all-night poker game is all-
day playing; the girls are long-skirt tambourine
dancing.

Sleep today. Dangers are safe-ing.
Grass is growing.

Moment is waiting, cracks
are sparkling.
