Scenes from the Park

3 Weeping willows acknowledge spring
4 with roots growing out their heads.
5 Cats laze in sunshine-yellow rays,
6 while birds lay bare on the grass.
7
8 Guitars strum.
9 Papers burn,
10 people watch,
11 and heads turn.

15 Upon the lawn, 
16 boys play with themselves;
17 the dogs, they are,
18 running about.

20 Scat, better run. 
21 Hags fume like choice squares. 
22 They refuse to listen anymore
23 to folksong singing in the park.

26
27 Cruiser rolls past whistling 
28 and ringing bells to demand 
29 a commanding attention
30 with a uniformed look. 
31
32 As the rule of law rolls up,
33 the crowd dies down.
34 Being Bob Dylan exits stage left
35 as blue suits with cuffs enter center stage.

39 After the smoke clears,
40 boys send kings to madness
41 with rebellion -- taking down 
42 their pants to powers that be.
43
44 Among the people
45 hardly scared with wild eyes,
46 the world is fresh
47 with new fancies of flesh.
