Wishing for a park bench

I wish I had a park bench, so that I could sit and think

Because Albion, dear Albion, is just too small for such pursuits

I wish I had a city with a park and a great big tree with a bench

Where I could sit, alone with my warm coat, and let my mind walk

I wish I could send my mind on a walk alone down the paths

In that park,  far from the prying eyes and minds of those who know and love me.
