The Park

Jandek


I want to make a park and live on it 
I don't know anyone in the city 
That understands this part like you do 
I'm leaving it here 
I'm going to walk away 
But with the park and the dogs 
The birds and the squirrels 
The cats and the people go away 
Because it's my park 
The land was just here 
I took it and I made it a park 
I like the trees 
Green leaves 
Alive 
I'll make some pathways 
And put rocks all around 
I don't need a gymnasium 
I'll sit up straight and keep my mind on you 
You came and took control 
You'll tell me what to do 
And that's what it's all about 
I'm making this park 
There'll be lots of things to do out there 
Hello 
How are you 
Fresh air and the dogs 
And if there's some new thing 
We'll check it out
