water tower


sunday
 at 11:15 am
 the southwest corner
 of
 72nd street and west end avenue

 how do i know
 precisely
 where
 when
 an unusual occurrence for sure
 but
 i know
 i know
 because
 i paused here
waiting to cross on the green
 i was toting harry
 in the carrier
 he was not screaming
 but 
he was doing
 a great impression 
of 
a trapped gymnast 

we were on the way to the vet

 he's spent 3 days/nights
in the clinic
being monitored
surgery
has now been ruled out
a major relief

he will be well and home soon
