Some folks complain about concrete cliffs
and being trapped in such an ugly, crime ridden city.
Not I.
Call it a shattering reflection
where one becomes deliciously vivacious
with bustling trains linking five boroughs
with bustling trains linking five boroughs
brawling through heaping helpings of cream cheese
smeared over a bagel
and how a hot garbage breeze
reminds you why July
lacks perfection-
and
Magnolia's confections
always please.
and
Magnolia's confections
always please.
Or meeting strangers drowned in hair gel
that ride in
that ride in
from outer limits
are such a tease
insistent to reach "The city"
insistent to reach "The city"
just to catch-up
with pals on Houston Street.
I for one am
Always
I for one am
Always
anticipating
spirits rising
and heartfelt cheer
over a beer
and a plain slice
and
no visit is complete
without
devouring
a Meshugge
Yummy for the tummy
Meshugge!
on Houston Street.
and
the silky touch of
devouring
a Meshugge
Yummy for the tummy
Meshugge!
on Houston Street.
and
the silky touch of
a deli cat
strumming by.
Just another glory to be had
so spontaneously amusing
and
always
always
binding my soul
to New York City.
Never shall we worry about those folks
living in Black and White.

City life can be filled with adventure..I wouldn't mind a cold beer and a NY style slice..
I still love B & W photos. However, after looking at the photo at the top of your blog, how could I possible long for NYC?
this is fantastic! I love the city with all it wonderful things that you just don't find anyplace else!
AH! The excitement of being in the city!
I spent over two decades in Manhattan.
Pretty neat place!

Ah the Hustle, bustle and vivacity; nothing quite like it even if it’s only for me in small doses. Nicely conjured up images and .. . I learned a new word!
Love how you began this post! I also thought of "King of the Road" when I saw the image. I enjoyed your poetry.
Wonderful photo, great framing, exquisite composition!
I liked this poem. The formatting made it even more enjoyable!
I'm so torn between rural and urban life, but I think I like the excitement and energy of the city! {:-Deb
I am not sure to want let this apartment, lol ! City life can be exciting !
Cool! I love this view of 'the city,' so positive and exciting! Have eaten at Carnegie's in NYC, and many corner delis on L.I. where I lived for 5 years, never tried one of those sandwiches! People who've never eaten at a real New York deli don't have a clue what they're missing!
City for change - yes for rest, but not for living there forever..
