Replying to a comment on:

A Barefoot Day in the Park (Free verse) by Dovina

I’ve decided to sit and wait nothing more to do My feet can take root wet earth between my toes like a girl again moss growing over my hands leaves from my fingers Maybe a child will climb me that boy throwing pebbles onto an empty fountain too much wisdom for his age feeling misplaced not made for this world I wanted to say to him: If not you, who?

The end has a tweak, and his name is Jerry. Just a memory, but with a lot more sense than I gave him credit for back then.
