A tribute to one of the most unique Parks I've ever visited. https://littleisland.org/

Listen to poem:

Two emeralds; copper eyes, fixated on the Atlantic The Hudson; jades woke by fairies to her feet, so frantic My view; is vantage, a little island on pillars, so historic Gotham the east connection; of an oasis oh so prolaphoric The horse shoe; welcomes performances theatric Paths of endless connections; made by cobblestone brick A Metropolis candle; burning at both ends of the wick Melting pots of humanity; formed, a narrow wax stick

The candle burning at both ends sounds like a good ideal when you think about it.

Sometimes you just need a perspective outside the norm to recognize what is normal ;) A.S.
