Golden gate park

In this poem by Ferlinghette he talks about a couple taking a stroll in the meadows in the golden gate park. in the beginning the story everything seems normal about the couple walking together. They are both enjoying the beautiful enviroment they are surrounded by the man is walking with his flute prob not a care in the world while the women is feeding the squrieslls with grapes. I feel like the couple is very close but yet very seperated. when they sat down on the grass and began to peel the oranges and how Ferlingheette said they didnt look at each other to me it didnt seem like they where mad at each other or maybe only one was mad and made the whole day a little akward. It could have been that they were just so close to each other and loved each other. Towards the end it kinda turnd my opinion on the story for example when the man took off his shirt and fell alseep without saying anything made me think a little that he was mad or he had a problem with the women. At the end when he said "execpt a cetian awful look of terrible depresion" made it quite obvious that the man was not making the woman happy and she was very upset with him. its impossible to know what was the reason was but the man seemed like he wasnt loseing sleep over it.
