Nehru Park in Kochi
evenings it’s stuffed with families
white shirt men play tag with hollering kids
a screeching girl escapes her lunging dad
fish drawn up in Chinese nets are cooked in shoreline fires
ice cream cones stroll the ocean edge
much the same in July at Mine Falls Park
kids on bikes wobble single file
joggers on trip-root trails wedge by tugging dogs
couples walk the evening along
it’s 80 degrees as is Kerala’s Nehru Park.
