Alone In An Abandoned Park

alone in an abandoned park
i listen to a family of hummingbirds
seals and crofts calmly telling them not to fly away
tears breaking the barrier of my intended lie
one corn dog i enjoy
one cold lunch bucket i devour
a small loaf of french bread i chew slowly and carefully
when the night creeps in, i will strategically park in my spot
i will sleep with all eyes open
the dead leaves will be my alarm
i drink my bottled water and then forget it is in my left hand
the stray himalayan is my only friend
i share said bottled water with her
