Water fall fountain,
filling,
filling,
with cooling water
for dainty toes dipped in,
and paws running through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Six stave well-worn wooden benches
seat meditative
onlookers, watching the world go by.
Green, grey trash cans
cenitels to the scene.
Large scrawling trees sway in the breeze
while claims are written behind them
receipents of welfare and benefits.

 

 

 

 

A red faced clock
ticks,
ticks,
away time spent worrying and wondering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recipients take a few moments
to absorb the tranquility
and listen to the gush, fall and splash.
