he stood there in the play area sweatshirt hood up
dressed in blue and gray and black
watchful and hostile for some reason
while his wife or girlfriend pushed a little girl in a swing
he kept watching to see if anyone would look at him
and he'd push an empty child's swing
next to the swing his child was swinging in back and forth
sometimes the full swing and the empty swing
would be swinging at the same time in the
same direction
