Urban Delights

Young women wearing tight jeans 
hang onto their boyfriends 
Fancy cars drive by 
in the heart of the metropolis 
Today I ran a poetry workshop 
also in the heart of the metropolis - an urban delight 
Another urban delight is the poetry 
which has been written about Gotham 
As I gazed down at the FDR Drive 
Taking a deep breath of air 
I walked over to the coffee shop 
Where they have a community journal 
I write in it every day 
Discussed politics with the young barista at the shop 
Good conversation 
New York has some great aspects
especially on its Lower East Side
