Newer Choices
Tourists here to visit
In their multilingual voices
Have so many things to see
Including lots of newer choices.
The High Line, great for walking,
Built on railroad tracks forsaken,
Now endowed with gorgeous plantings,
Is a route most often taken.
The Oculus, a shopping mall
And transportation center
Is an architect’s fulfillment
Of a dream we all can enter.
And the latest new addition,
Hudson Yards, with room for climbing
On its famous Vessel sculpture
Is well worth a little rhyming.
Years ago when people traveled
To New York, if they’d a listing
Of the sights to see, it wasn’t these
‘Cause they were not existing.
