Low to ground
Safe and sound
Sharing smiles all around
Their devotion
Abounds
As they glide
Side by side
Through the streets
In joyful ride.

Where Broadway
Meets fifth
In triangular happenstance,
Stands a Beaux-Arts building
That Flat-Ironed
A vertical Palazzo
Into a steel framed
Renaissance.

Up and high
They pierce the sky.
Clothing floor
By floor
With glass,
They climb
Through city space
En masse.
In large cranes
O’er river,
Rails and roads,
They build Manhattan
Load
By load.

Ripples speed
With the breeze
Whipping small waves
With ease
On the surface
Of these
Waters guarded
By trees.

For those whose backyards
Exist
In novels, history
And lore,
Central Park is a
Greatly
Essential
Outdoors.

In the city where stairways
And buildings rise high
No surprise that car parks
Also aim for the sky …
Be aware it will take
Some time to dislodge
So it could be a tad tricky
To race out of Dodge…

In less toured
But more lived-in
Where the city
Does sleep,
Amidst tall
Modern buildings
Walk-up homes
Wrapped in trees.

Dressed not in flowers
But leaves
It still glory
Receives,
Glowing without
Reserve
To the accolades
It deserves.

When stuck in stalled traffic
Or standing smooshed on the train
I remind myself how
For many
The commute is truly a strain.

In the midst of the bustle,
The hectic,
The cramped,
A shared world
Sprawls lush green:
Just a few steps
Within
A deep breath
And some peace
To partake in.
