i don't know who they are

but they say

cream rises to the top   we found the

cream today   a little park

atop one of the

cities highest hills   free of needles and

piss and sodden cardboard   kids

were playing 

parents were idling away the while

on their devices or chatting   and

if it wasn't bucolic   it

was close enough   they say   whoever 

they are   sap rises in

springtime
