I <3 NY

old piece

Cookie crums and coffee stains
water spots on the window pains
a cool breeze blows thru the door
footsteps tap on the checkerd, tiled floor
the sun hugs the shadows tighter throughout the day
until the light becomes a warm blanket were children can play
the trees dance with joy in the new spring air
streching there branches so there beauty can be shared
Brrr Brrr
Peigons strech there wings
and peck at the bread tossed on the ground by an old ladie who sings
and old men play chess in the park wearing caddy hats and sweater vest
Drivers in traffic honk and shout
GPS's recalculating the route
to work
so your schedule's a little off beat
but its ok
cause you have a little bit of coffee
there's a bodega at the end of any street
where they sell lotto tickets
and that coffee is light and sweet
they sell fruits and vegie's like apples and tomatos
kids dump change on the counter for a pack of now and laters
and at night the street lights make an orange glow
on a chain linked fence that can balance snow
in the winter
where every holiday involves dinner
and family
although people think this place is cold hearted and mean
and to tell the truth
it makes its own residents want to scream
but it makes them tough and proud
and maybe thats why they talk so loud
but when the talk
conversations are never short
and all of these things are just some reasons why
I LOVE NEW YORK
