The Man in the Park

The man in the park

stabbing bits of paper

with a painted stick

on behalf of the U.D.C.

has the freedom to let

his mind go.

 

Envying him

I would like to spend my day

among waste papers.

 

Watching him

my own bilge

swirls away

 

he doesn't know

somebody is thankful
