Central Park

In the tall, great oaks
A tiny creature scampers to make its home
It drops a small bundle of leaves
Which lands on a nearby branch

On this shaded bench
An old man takes his afternoon nap
He is tranquil, at peace
Till a racing cab forces him awake

The speeding taxi holds a young woman
In a rush to get to a meeting on time
Who, while waiting for the stoplight
Watches the tiny creature in the great oak

Giant green oak tree swaying
Elderly men relaxing on benches
Taxi cabs whizzing right by
This is the endless cycle at Central Park
