Water In the Bronx

Water in the Bronx Beautiful night as clear as day Resting, for I am a believer Can not wake up, maybe it is time to pray For what I am about to see, makes me shiver Walton High school, beside the subway tracks I stand Is there someone with a cup? As far as the eye could see, there is water all around me And I begin to wonder as I look up. As I survey this watery scene, all is silent and calm And the water swirls gently on the ground Something must have happened not unlike a storm For there no one else around Three feet deep, I feel as if this is a flood Or maybe global warming,the land could be sinking The mighty warrior may be looking for blood While around me, people sleep, then wake up drinking William Morrissey 12/23/04
