We send our bags forward to the hotel. We walk past sevel venders, the normal venders hot dog carts, drink popcorn stands, T-shirt and other clothes for sale. The flowers seemed to pose for pictures, as do some of the animals. The park seems to be a place where locals and tourists mingle. Sevel boat rides travel the rivers of the park. As they walk thru the park it looks less shaped by people. The paths gets more narrow until it was only wide enough for them to walk side by side.
John and Carrie come up a hill, first they see a sign with a picture of a horse on two legs wearing clothes with what looked like nude humans harnessed to a cart. John and Carrie just walk by. Carrie blinked twice as she looked down as a brick path. What she saw was hard fore her to make sense of. It was one of the fancy carts that where romantic dates popular for couples in the nineteen and early twentieth century, the rides were a male and female horse headed people in old fashion clothes, harnessed to the cart pulling it were four nude humans on all fours. The first pair of humans pulling the cart are male human, the inner pair are two human women in touch range of the rides.
The cart goes out of sight.
Down the hill they find a pond behind a hedge, a sign says nude swimmers welcome. Carrie giggles as she starts to take off her clothes and throws them into a trunk, John does the same. holding hands they run in to a oval shaped lake. They swim side by side for a time until they hear a sound and they are wrapped in a net. "John" Carrie says, "It`s ok Carrie" John says.
What pulls them over the fence look like horse-like people, both male. They wrap us in rope that loops our ankles, our arms and around our necks with a bit left over as a leash. They do not say a word to us, just lead us to a barn from a speaker comes words almost a rap saying over and over "You are not people, you are happy animals, you are beasts of burden, you are property, your place is on all fours, people wear clothes, animals are nude, this is your truth". We are examined in every possible, we are locked in a stall. We look in the other stalls as we pass, some of them have nude couples, most of them are smiling or seem happy. "John what are they going to do to us" Carrie says. They want us to brake, to think we are animals for them to use as they want" John says.
