water towers


I wish
 the shadows 
weren't so deep 
or 
that 
I could have figured
 out a way
 to even out
 the contrast 
so you could see
 the fire house with its flag there
 but 
I couldn't 
I tried
 I tried
 then
 I gave up
 I got over it
 you will too

 this is
 West 78th Street
 just before
 Amsterdam Avenue
