OK
I think I get it:
a nice grey woollen picnic blanket
I found the grey
when crossing the road for the umpteenth time
safely
I felt the wool
when I finally allowed that cars will keep driving
along the road, well where else could they
go?
I suspect
that there might be a fascinating check design
in the warp and the weft but I am too busy
to explore this now backward and forward across
the road
there
are some trees and a sunny glen over there
I can spread the blanket wide and enjoy
the meal I carry heavy on my back there
right after I have crossed my hundred thousand children
safely
one
by one as they pop up to the side of the road, w-hupp, here’s
another one
