I
laid
down,
on
a
brand
new
wooden
bench,
long
enough
for
my
long
frame
(of
which
there
are
plenty,
in
this
park),
on
my
way
home,
on
foot,
from
the
bus
terminal,
to
my
rented
room,
in
this
low-cost,
yet
relatively
quiet
(and
definitively
culturally
diverse!)
area,
that
I
live
in.
The
weather
was
perfect,
today--and
plenty
of
people
take
advantage
of
this
small
park,
with
it's
large
grassy
field,
and
long
walking
trail,
around
it's
outer
edge.
I
laid
down,
on
a
lovely
new
bench,
in
the
shade,
next
to
a
bordering
woods,
and
rested
after
a
long,
tiring
day,
on
my
way
home,
on
foot,
after
my
last
bus
ride
(of
the
4
buses,
that
I
rode,
today,
that
is).
Later,
I
got
up,
and
took
a
slight
detour
home,
on
foot,
to
pass
by
one
of
my
favorite
concentrations
of
mulberry
trees,
with
tons
of
luscious
purple
fruit,
now
ripening
on
their
low-lying,
heavily-laden
branches--and
went
home
with
purple
fingers,
purple
lips--and
even
purple,
on
my
glasses!
Ha
ha
ha
ha
ha
ha
ha...yes,
it
was
a
good
day--part
of
which
was
spent
hanging
out,
in
this
small,
cute
(yet
convenient,
and
well-used)
park.
And,
tomorrow,
I
will
go
back
there,
to
the
community
center,
on
the
other
end
of
the
park--where
I
will
work
for
15.5
hours,
as
an
election
worker,
for
tomorrow's
primary
election
(which
is
a
little
part-time
gig
for
me,
for
only
1
day,
every
6
months--that
supplements
my
meager
Soc
Sec
retirement
benefits).
And
that
community
center,
is
only
a
mile
away,
from
my
residence,
on
foot--and
since
I
walk
approx.
15
miles
a
week,
nowadays
(including
3
or
4
miles,
today,
alone)--it
is
an
easy
trek,
there,
for
me,
on
foot
(although
many
others
drive
there,
and
lounge
around
in
their
cars,
in
that
spacious
parking
lot,
off
Matilda
Street--the
main
connecting
road
between
Rt.27,
Hamilton
St.,
and
Franklin
Boulevard,
here
in
the
Somerset
section,
of
Franklin
Township,
in
Somerset
County,
New
Jersey--the
same
county
that
my
mother
was
raised
in,
btw--a
century
ago...)
So,
I
give
this
cute
(and
functional)
little
place,
a
4
star
rating.
(I
only
give
5
stars,
to
some
of
my
GIRLFRIENDS,
nowadays--not
to
no
park,
store,
or
any
other
PLACE!
Ha
ha
ha
ha
ha
ha
ha!)
