Listen to poem:

Mind Blown

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.
