water towers
Yesterday morning
it was dark
when
I left the apartment
that's
West 79 Street
intersecting
with
Broadway
that white figure
is a street art installation
to me
it looks like a priest from the Spanish Inquisition
behind him
if you look up
you'll see
two
water towers/tanks
there was a tragedy yesterday morning
someone
uptown
near the City College subway stop at 148 St
was killed
the subway service on the local line was affected
when I got to the 79th Street station
there was a 20 min wait for the local
I decided
to walk
to 72nd
to catch the express
along the way
I spotted
the M104
ran to the stop
hopped on
along with many others
settled into a seat
and
watched the city wake up
speaking of waking up
last night
shortly after I got home
I was crouching down
to give Jack a pep talk
when Harry walked over
put his nose against Jack's
and
for a nano sec
the 3 of us
just
were
then
Jack hissed
Harry and I jumped
but
it was a break through
in fact
Harry decided it was permission to hang out in the living room
where he tried to get Jack to play
no dice
Jack wasn't ready to give in
tho
it was clear
to both Toonman and me
that he really wanted to
at about 3:30 a.m.
I woke
to the sounds
of
insane cats
racing around
running
madly
from
living room
to
bedroom
back and forth
I lay there
listening
waiting
for the
growls
the hisses
there
were
none
when I finally got up at 5:30
both cats joined me in the kitchen
I washed out
re-filled
the water bowl
put it on the floor
Harry went to get a drink
Jack hissed
Harry stopped
he sat down
I do believe
they're going to be friends
