In the Breezy Trees

We are in the breeze with trees possible off the flying lake look for orange cone wearing silver mask in front of the office in back of the park No back-to-back or front-to-back conversations on old rocky route where roots are not masked Dogs wearing masks are welcome Humans need to be on leashes Rain policy will be localized at the park You can just show up on a deconstructing road to nowhere Road to hell does not show up on Google Maps Easy Rated Go for Beginners Distance: 3.23589 light miles Call me when you arrive Call me if you don't arrive Directions: Go east 0.8 miles turn when you see the squirrel drive off the cliff fall 0.3 miles land upside down on the rocky parkway turn west crawl 0.2 miles swim in creek pet the alligator and snake Go 1/250th of a mile to parking entrance to your left on your right To the left is an orange -00000 mile marker trail loop To the right is a silver gentle tree man Bring your own porta john & newspaper All welcome in the Road go two minutes follow the Jaguar chasing the dinosaur Play baseball on the Floating Lake Give away tickets to hunger games hike in bathrooms in lake's center Conversions permitted on gravel Conversations will unravel

Many thanks for your kind feedback. It's partially a "found poem" (some of the lines were derived from local hiking group announcements) though the poem definitely goes off in an original (& intentionally comical) direction.

Thank you--I should mentioned in notes that's it's sort of a "found poem" (based on hiking group announcements and manipulated in a way to make it surreal & humorous).
