Where else but here

Would a tour guide

Hold up his lightsaber

To be better seen

Among

Trees

Fountains

And Sol LeWitt sculptures?

I am leisurely walking

To a job interview of sorts

Without knowing that I’m going East

Instead of West,

As usual.

I sit on a bench to study a map.

My neighbor is studying a screenplay.

Two Amish women

With their bearded partners

Are studying the lightsaber.

That big splashy fountain

Reminds me of Rome

I wonder if boring people

Throw coins in there

Like back home.

I glance over the edge.

The answer is yes.
Pennies.
