A Fountain to Watch While Basking

Summer. The sunshine on Saturday blazed, temps entrenched in the 90s. In Hamilton Park, I noticed the fountain was working. It hadn’t been since the park reopened, at least I hadn’t seen any water activity in it. I just like fountains. I like seeing water gurgle into the air, flow from one basin down to another. I like how water glistens with sunlight. It’s a wonderful fountain, a new addition that accompanied the renovation. They say it is based on an original fixture in the park way back in the century before the last. On the grass in view of the fountain were Luis & Kelly, basking in the sun on a blanket and sipping mimosas. They looked liked summer, they looked like July 3rd 2010, a young couple on a lawn newly liberated from unleashed dogs and their selfish owners. Behind them is a dog run. Until now, you were not able to sunbathe so freely on the lawns in this park. Now we can bask and have a fountain to watch while we do so.
