Freedom

Simple.

A man sits on a mower
in the park
making lines and circles
in freshly cut grass.

And- 
Two mothers
are pushing 
a child each on a swing,
opposite directions.
They talk
as their children go up
and down.

So glad you liked it! When we had no parks open in CALIF I really felt the absence of people, kids, moms and normal old life!
