Mind Blown

Listen to poem:
Once twin towers stood. In the city king kong fell in love. Yellow taxi's swarm like stripeless bees. and a sky line thats silhouted on your mind. with police sirens screaming and broadway calling. Times Square lights hurting your eyes. With Central park its breathing lung a countryside oasis in a concrete corsett. Greenwich village with its arts and crafts and wall streets big business and brash. United nations share this town. musical and big fight nights. basket balls globe trotters strut thier funky stuff. and the yankees play class baseball. all in all new york as blown my mind.
