A park bench holds many stories. It hears and sees the lives of many people. Yet, it cannot repeat these stories to anyone, therefor it is a place of comfort for people. It can be a place to read, relax and watch your children, or it can be a bed to someone who's home is the outdoors. It can be a sanctuary in a way... It can also be a place filled with germs and disease waiting to take over the next person who sits on it. Think of all the bottoms who have sat in your seat and what the person sitting there before you was like. To me a park bench is a thing of mystery. Who has sat here before you? Were they just like you, someone just needing to rest on their walk? Or were they someone who had the day planned to sit there all day and people watch. Someone may have spent the night where you were just siting to relax. Hmmmm......
