Meditate Before Clossing Street

Confucius  What He Would Say to Pedestrians in Manhattan

One of the more annoying thing
about central New York
is having to stop walking
at the end of almost every block
until the sign tell you to closs the street,
or else you get yourself squash
by a bus or maybe  yellow cab,
or even by the NYPD.

Generally speaking,
 being annoyed 
is better than being squash,
so use waiting time to meditate.
