Had lunch with a friend
And we sat
in the shade
In a
sidewalk arrangement
The
restaurant made.
I live on
the east side
And she on
the west.
We meet to
catch up
At each
other’s request.
The corner
was busy
And traffic
zipped by.
With sirens
and buses,
I’m not
gonna lie,
The noisiness
level
Was blaring
and loud,
Plus
bulldozers rolled
As
pedestrians cowed.
Construction
just added
More
rat-a-tat-tats,
With shouts
from the workers
In
safety-type hats.
My friend
and I chatted,
Our voices
both raised,
Delighted to
be there,
New Yorkers
unfazed.
