parklife


h in the park
putting adults on the spot
begging five dollars
out of nervous hands

same thing everytime
"i know this sounds stupid"
"this is really embarrassing"
don't think so

11 dollars in half an hour
not bad at all
marlboros from the supermarket
stolen drinks on her shoulder

i got my bag checked but she didnt
face on the camera but not concerned
came out smiling
gave me the cans
went to the park to drink them

she shoots in the park
but only once a week
her boyfriend shoots it daily
but he goes to the gym

pale as a ghost but still eating healthy
circles around his eyes but still the same guy
shooting h in the park

i stand around in black
watching vultures with binoculars..
carving boxes out of trees
