not just the homeless
young lovers, stragglers but now
the nicest people
tired seniors and youngsters
engrossed with their own hand-sets

Prompt:  bench in the park

  10. It's been a long time since I've sat on a park bench, how about you? Haven't been to a park since a year ago, July 4, in my home town eating with my relatives and old high school friends.

  12. Makes you think of the interesting stories a park bench might tell. One of its visitors might sit down to read a poetry blog or two ;)
