Roger Angell In Central Park
Roger Angell In Central Park
My wife was game to change
direction when I wondered
out loud if you were the man
on the bench in the sun
minding his own business
beneath a Mets cap, perhaps
contemplating yet another
major league season or
daffodils and Spanish bluebells
blooming on Cedar Hill
enjoying his solitude on a fine
spring morning much like my
long dead father glimpsed
moments before basking
shirt off in the Sheep Meadow
the sanctity of privacy
and nothing more
I tell myself, steering us
across the 79th Street Traverse
toward the teeming refuge
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
