Inconvenienced
The pow-wow at the U.N. has
Affected many roads,
With inconvenienced travel
By both car and other modes.
I tried to take the ferry down
To meet some friends for lunch.
A police boat in the river, though,
Confirmed my ticked-off hunch –
My ferry route suspended,
But no answer to how long.
Security is vital, though
To me it just felt wrong.
I hoofed it to the subway
Where I waited for a train,
Which was crowded and unpleasant
And deserving of disdain.
Yet I got where I was going
And when I was headed back,
The suspension had been lifted,
With the ferry back on track.
