sunday in the park

thinking ourselves
alone,
pilgrims appeared,
measuring the earth
with their bodies


divas scoffed


at the senseless bowing


others reached out


threw confetti


tried to
stop them
at the block party


undeterred,
the supplicants
continued


we watched
them go


and headed
back to the
party girls.


dedicated to birthday party girl Patsy/Payutsy/Pat C/Daley, my friend who I have known for almost my whole life (since FOUR YEARS OLD) whose birthday is today. Happy Birthday Patricia June Daley Noll!
