In My Neighborhood

Walking outside and the streets are all hopping;

People are strolling or eating or shopping.

Maskers are few and their numbers are dropping

As Covid recedes from the news.

 

Diners and bars are all crowded and busy;

Sidewalk cafes feature drinks tall and fizzy.

Traffic and bicycles pass in a tizzy

As new storefronts make their debuts.

 

Out in Ukraine there are bombs that are flying;

People are hiding or fighting or dying,

Yet in Manhattan there is no denying

That Covid and war are taboos.
