A Patio-Like Place

Behind my building, there’s a spot,

A patio-like place,

With iron benches, tables, too -

A lovely outdoor space.


With flow’ring bushes all around,

It’s someplace nice to sit,

Although on sunny days, I’m sure

That I would sweat a bit.


It’s open to the tenants;

From the basement, there’s a door.

The strangest thing is that I haven’t 

Been out here before.


I found it quite by accident,

But learned that it’s been here

For two-plus years and rarely used;

The reason why’s not clear.


It doesn’t have the river’s pull,

But I can sit outside 

And read or write by taking

Just an elevator ride.
