a walk in the park.

does a walk in the park
feel better in the morning
or in the evening?
i strut outside
in a pair of jeans and a sweater.
i look around;
noisy children.
kids walking around the park
in their uniforms, a slushie on hand.
for some reason
i find it annoying, but also calming.

i walk again in the evening.
i look around;
i see couples sniffing the night air
in each other's arms
as they talk about the wonders
the good
the nice
what is good? what is nice?
i don't understand.
i find it annoying, but also calming.

in my conclusion, a walk in the park
is something i wouldn't normally do.
as i slip into my pajamas
ready to go to bed,
imagining how it felt like
in that sweater and pair of jeans
making my way through the park
thinking. dreaming. fantasising.
maybe i'll enjoy a walk in the park
with someone
someday.
