Taking the Boat
A brand-new ferry leaves its dock
One block from where I live.
It feels like it’s a present
That the city chose to give.
For I can ride downtown upon
The river’s gentle swells,
Escaping all the subway’s crowds,
The litter and the smells.
I tried it out today and found
It pleasant, fun and fast,
Absorbing different urban views
As we went chugging past.
Right now it’s like a secret
For the lucky who have scored
But I’m sure when word gets out,
It may be hard to get on board.
