Spread a blanket on the grass
Under the eucalyptus
Lie down and feel the relief.
Sit in the swing
Let your hair dance in wind
Hear the swish of your fuchsia parachute pants
As your legs pump up and down
Up and down.
The squirrel tries to steal your snack,
Moves the bag off the blanket
And freezes mid action when she realizes she’s been caught,
She flees,
You throw her some bites
We all deserve to feel full and free.
