Why is it that lately the people who sit
down beside me fight mercilessly?
Yesterday in the park I carefully
spread writing tools across picnic table
Mother & daughter with baby arrive
& proceed to sit beside procrastinating poet
Within 10 minutes they are seething
While I am seemingly invisible and begin to wonder if perhaps I am
They soon scream insults shamelessly
As baby sleeps through 2 generations
airing dirty laundry And parkweary poet
waves earplugs menacingly
__
*as I scramble back to civilization I see little hairless one
beating clenched fists against seething breasts 3rd generation
indoctrination into family pastime
Mid-Summer 2013
