Weekend Adventure!!

Friday was blah,
the heat was on its way,
a night of Gil studying,
and me watching anything Bravo!

Saturday was school close shopping,
two words, boring and hot!
No escaping the heat,
the buildings even sweat.



Awoke today to find our friend humidity gone,
it showed up for a day to assure us it exists still,
I rejoiced in its absence.
The road took us to Brooklyn,
Coney Island, how exciting.
New York is amazing if you open your eyes and explore.

A working class playground,
kitchy with an amazing energy,
a t-shirt passes us by,
"Welcome to Brooklyn, a home to the world"
A truth,
At home in the diversity, I grin
Injest an original Nathan's followed by a ride on the Cyclone,
a perfect Sunday afternoon.

We drive home in the gloaming,
my favorite time of day,
day gives way to night,
Cruise down the expressway,
a panoramic view of downtown, Brooklyn Bridge, and Empire State,
Wow,
First time on the famous bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan,
Wow,
I live here,
urban beauty at its best.


Home now,
CNN "God's Warriors",
scary shit,
Annie Lennox,
"Peace is just a word",
Maybe,
I find my own peace,
and go towards the light!!
