PARKED ...
PARKED ...
I’ve just returned
from the park ...
Where I went for a
waddling wobble
...
...
“Back in the day”,
I power-walked ...
Now, a halting,
hesitant hobble.
The only place I can
go on my own ...
Peace and quiet
generally reign ...
The world has
returned to work ...
The children in
school again.
Occasionally, I see
someone:
“Hello”.
“Nice dog”.
“Beautiful day”.
My ideal length of
conversation ...
ME people need no
explanation.
Now retired, I often
ponder ...
How very small my
world has become ...
I thought that it
would be infinite ...
When working days
were definitely done.
So many plans,
places to go ...
Things to do, people to see.
Now, my world is
mostly my house and garden ...
The sadness ...
The pity.....
And the irony ...
...
