Notes About The Poem

At Last

Like bumping into an old friend 

un-expectantly 

a warm spring day arrives 

un-announced. 

People smile unabashedly 

making their entrance teeth first 

into each others view. 

It all seems so new.

Winter’s curtain lifts 

like Marilyn’s skirt 

on a subway grate, 

ruffling everyone’s 	
		
consciousness awake.

When things are so fine, 

we all take note. 

A new alertness in the air 

carried by all the latest lungs, 

like a new Givenchy tote. 

Spring has stepped 

onto the Avenue. 

All eyes are now on her 

Everywhere we hear a purr 

instead of brrr!
