Today Was Beautiful.

Today was beautiful,

it was the type of day that you can only enjoy

by eating a pistachio cone from Ray's Candy Store

and watching the pups

at the Tompkin's Square dog run

the shih tzus, bull dogs

or sitting on a tire swing at the back of the park

spinning, rocking, catching the ice cream drippings

before they slip onto your fingers

or sitting on the small hill

eating a Chocolate, or even better, a banana crunch Entenmann's cake,

preferably without utensils

with a side of green grapes

there was even a sun shower,

and I wish I was on Avenue A to enjoy it

I would stand at the bus stop

under the glass canopy

and watch the slinky buses go by

and the boys on their skateboards

and the girls on their bikes with baskets

and people eating slices of pizza on the go

and I would be happy.
