desolate park bench
stories behind
each wrinkle

Once more, you have added a 'new wrinkle' to the montage of life and hidden secrets. Myself, I look at large-bloc apt. bldgs. and wonder what stories lurk in the drama taking place behind each window...Never thought of that reg. the lines in the park benches. So perceptive! :) gw

Thank you so much, Gershon. I too wonder about what stories are behind home windows especially at night - knowing they range from the hideous to the noblest.
