Busy at the Park

Life-size people emerge from
Subway burrows watched by
Washington, George.

Squirrels with ADHD
Dash here and there,
Driving people nuts
On the lawns of
Square, Union.

Puppies checkout Facebook friends
While parents are on leash
To their mobiles.
Children play quietly
In controlled garden
Between walls of freedom.

Farmers market produce,
Noise and colorful flowers fill
The hot stone slabs of sidewalks
With holes in them leading back to the Subway.
Into which life-size disappear, people.
