Finsbury park

Under the spell of rare sunshine
we crave nature.
Some like it untouched,

but a man-made Eden combines the best of both worlds.

Feast your eyes on the assorted mix:

The barrel chested playa hungrily ogling meat. 

A ragged senior with ruinous teeth,
walks at ease - his gait smooth as old money. 

"Can you take a picture of me and my daughter please?"

In the sandpit, the weekend father and his princess both squint. 

All chose the same park;
traipsed down the same high street;
passing the brown girl with the sad smile.

She hands out pamphlets and promises that Islam is the solution to all problems.

Today, 
paradise is a lazy afternoon under the sun.

The park is scattered with bodies - the grass is thirsty, 
and pink flesh slowly burns.
