Benches Tables

Place now I look for,
A bench, a picnic table,
With faraway view

Far?  Beyond beyond,
My legs can no longer present
Me on a mountain.

I know a table
Where the thru hikers pass by
To and fro-fro to.

A bit unbalanced,
So distribute your fannies
Or it tips over.

From the canvas store
Snacks and mail-messages...
The world on my phone.

I can share it all...
Don't get me started-or not...
Oft alone with it.

Benches and tables
Are ubiquitous here, there...
Ghosts will sit with you.
