Osage Station Park was full of picnics.
The Iron Horse rang its bells straight through them.
Local stories. Close to home.
Daily Smile
All smilesThe Iron Horse rang its bells straight through them.
I walked it twice. The errand could wait.
The strollers had the right of way, and the trail agreed.
The clock tower watched, on time, as usual.
The meter and I began a brief relationship.
Hartz Avenue already knew.
The fountain was working harder than my errand.
So was the conversation on the sidewalk in front of it.
The oaks were used to it.
The trail had footnotes.
