Sunday in the Park

                                                                  

 

Sunday lunch, beside tiny Tilles Park Lake,

I feast on crunchy French mini-toasts

Spread with olive-oil-and-roasted-garlic hummus

 

And watch clusters of quacking mallards,

Patrols of Canada geese, slowly floating, 

Fishermen casting their lines, minding their poles.

 

Suddenly, this warm noon transforms itself

Into the last time I sat by a Tuileries fountain,

Feeding ducks, watching kids sail their toy boats,

 

And I realize that everything's gotten older,

By three years, maybe five...everything but us.

Time and I haven't aged.
