Birds gossip about weekend strollers
twittering and ridiculing panting joggers.
Olympic-faced kids whizz round on their tricycles
and monk-faced bellringers meditate on bicycles.
Lesser-spotted warbling hermits get ticked off
by ‘I-Spy’ book-carrying hermit spotters with binocular eyes
while ear-phone music-listening loners chat with mallard ducks
who tilt their heads with my-oh-mys.
Grass grows a millimetre a minute for hallucinogenic cats
and dogs, off their leashes, get a rush of fetching sticks.
Trees play green light, red light statues with the park keeper
as leaves turn brown-yellow-purple psychedelic.
