Red String Park


my sister Cora knows
and names every single park
she checks out in our town

grass slide park
BB pellet park
tree seat park
dog party park
wall climb park
skinny park
pointless park
zip wire park

at red string park Cora says
if two friends climb together
they’ll stay friends forever
