Description

People in Parks
What a crazy idea,
User pays,
Buildings stay
Businesses,
Forty storeys
Sound construction
Quirky’s right!
Better concrete policed by tasers
Than wind through leaves
Better glass than grass.
Silly me, more tunnels
Than child swings
Big trucks go-between bridges
Grind down bicycle riders
Moving goods, jobs and property
Rates pay for parks
Plovers sound their complaint
At sundown
In this unfinished place
