In The Park

Walking into the park

The sun is surely shining

Peace and quiet all around

If for at least a little while


In the park

Kids and teens are dancing

to their music

In many moves I don't know or can't

make out


In the park

Bubbles from a bubble machine are created,

big and small

They waft through the air

Butteflies fly through the air, big and small


In the park

Flowers of every color, species, and size are

blooming

Unfurling their petals while they're at it

The bees will follow

They won't be too far behind


In the park

I spy a bench

I sit my belongings down

And take a seat

I sit near the fountain


With a few spare coins in my pocket

I pull out a penny

And flip it, end over end, into the fountain

While quickly making a wish


Another coin flips, end over end, behind me

Making its way into the fountain

I look around

And he smiles at me

He greets me

And he smiles at me


And I thought I'd seen everything in Dark City

At least I did

So far

But I guess I was wrong

At least so far today

At least so far in Dark City
