Early Morning Walk

The playground hadn’t opened;

The sun had yet to rise

And many might think walking

In the dark would not be wise.

 

A mist hung by the river,

A tugboat pulled a barge;

The cars inched down the F.D.R.,

Their headlights looming large.

 

The puddles, partly hidden,

Glinted dully in the gloom,

Soon to saturate some sneakers

Not expecting them to loom.

 

It was magic to be walking;

The few others I did see

Were the regulars who love

Their early exercise, like me.
