In the ParkA Poem by Gerald Parker
Today was a remarkable day
for thinking unremarkably in the park which is not the same as it was a remarkable day in the park for thinking unremarkably. Nevertheless, thinking was happening unremarkably in the park. This does not irrefutably mean that the thinking I was doing was unremarkable. But who was going to tell me, having a nice day as instructed when I left the shop/house/restaurant/etc., that my thinking was unremarkable? Besides, it’s my opinion that most people don’t think their thoughts are unremarkable, in fact, they put a high value on their thoughts so much so that they usually call them private and keep them to themselves with ‘keep out’ signs and have to be offered a penny to share them - a penny, of course, being nowhere near the value they’d put on them nowadays. However, no-one, of course, was actually going to tell me my thinking was unremarkable but, because it was not possible for anyone apart from me to remark the thinking that was happening in the park, it could be argued, against my will, that my thinking actually was unremarkable in the park on that remarkable day. .
