a walk during lunch

thinking about my jealousy
for man I don't wanna meet

fisherman reeling in a catch
out a man-made cement pond

so, he got some of your time
why does it gnaw at me so?

look! male ducks fighting 
must be such a hard life

covet what? not like I could
offer better than he would

pond fountain stirs algae
air smells green like envy

my life isn't welcoming
of time to take or to give

a wet and empty backpack
on a well-manicured lawn

probably should change
wearing red shiny shoes

mirrored window buildings
for only staff; no kids inside

a sunny hour not wasted
I spent the time with me
