Park Life

It's summer in the shitty and beautiful tanned women drape their arms around pasty thin american white boys in long shorts and baggy shirts. I sit on a bench not wide enough as they kiss and canoudle next to me and watch me write. A fat girl rollerblades on the grass, falling down and picking herself back up while a dark haired instructer with steel pecks oozing sex shouts in her face. In despair she drops to her knees and sobs, telling herself how unsuitable this is anyway, and why is she doing this anyway? and fuck it, why should she lose weight just for him, and them, and why can't they just leave her as she is now, and this is what her mum used to do, and she's all covered in sweat, and it's dripping off her forehead, and fuck it. I want to tell her nobody looks good in full protective body gear anyway.
