neglected
There's a yellow tape
DO NOT CROSS
just at the top of this staircase
I leaned as far as I could
without falling or crossing
I do follow the rules
some times
Some times
I don't
Sue me
which I guess
is what the Parks Department is worried about
being sued
by people
who might trip
fall
or in any way
hurt themselves
whilst walking up or down these steps
Clear neglect
those growths of weeds between the steps
the dead leaves
and
other park debris
accumulated in the corners
so symmetrical
are sure signs of neglect
of course
the nosy Parker
in me wants
to
know
why
This is one of the wordy photos from Sunday's walk
