Sunday Horseshoes in the Park
The squeaking of a swing
Geese honking
A motor boat growling
Dogs barking
Skateboards clacking
The rush of vehicles on the bridge
Hummingbirds brawling
A mother scolding a child
Cedars swaying
Daises in the grass
Cherry trees blooming
Teenagers posting videos
Gulls gliding
Families fishing
A balloon escaping a birthday party
A date in progress
A horseshoe park with 36 pits
and no one playing.
One gets the idea that horseshoes were a big deal here,
a long time ago,
in the days of canasta and bowling
There are even bleachers!
Imagine that. Horseshoe spectators!
What was said while they watched?
A lost poetry, for sure.
