central park benches

sat on a park bench people watching and sky gazing. just then felt a splatter on my left arm. a green blob of bird poop. disgusted i quickly got up. but a little too quickly as the watery fecal matter slid off my arm and onto my bag and skirt. doubly disgusted, i ran to the nearest hot dog stand and asked the vendor lady for some tissues. she refused saying i had to purchase a hot dog. i pointed to the now hardening excrement. she kindly offered 2 napkins.


found a park bench to eat my food. savoring my first bite, scoped out the area. straight front and center were 2 homeless men sprawled out on the grass. one hand inside the front of their own pants, enjoying themselves. immediate change of scenery and moved to a rock. instead watched a thin man in sunglasses smoke 2 fat cigars.
