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
