Arborarium

At some point in the day I walk along the path that winds its way through Sunnyside Park, a 1x2 block stretch of land that shares itself with Charles Dickens Elementary. I try not to walk through the park during lunch and recess, especially in my rumpled gardening clothes, because the monitors have enough on their hands without having to keep an eye on strange men like me. But sometimes I am distracted by thought and, well, while doing so the other day I noticed school children huddled like feeding birds at the base of trees. When the return-to-class buzzer sounded, arrangements like the one above.
