Green Park

 

In May it was a giant

snooker table, grass cut to

 

fine felty blades, Londoners

criss-crossing like squashy

 

billiards playing a wonky

game of quick picnics,

 

scenic routes to work and

sneaky lunch hour snoozes

 

before being potted by dusk’s

home-pointing cue

 

down tiled square holes

staggering into earth.
