The cow, the hot sun,
the statue of the man
who died in a duel,
the things I'm not allowed
to say, the dusty bench,
the fountain, the park
empty, the hospital empty
gleaming marble and gold,
the people allowed to cry
on TV and the people
not allowed to cry,
the grand steps, the arch
of heavy stone, the rooms
filled with slanting sunlight,
not a soul in sight.
Another quite old one to share!
