its so cool

last sunday

 as i was walking to irving farms for some coffee

 there was a huge crowd

 across the street

 being a blasé new yorker

 i didn't bother to cross over 

to see what was happening 

nor

 did i ask anyone

 in irving farms

 i pretty much forgot about it

 on saturday

(yesterday)

 i had a massage appointment 

on the eastside

 followed

 by a brunch date

 with my sister

 back on the westside

 we texted one another 

deciding 

to meet 

on the corner

 of 

amsterdam and 79th

 i was daydreaming

 i guess

 cause 

i forgot

 to ring

 for

 the amsterdam bus stop 

the next stop

 is

broadway

 i could walk back

 its only one block

 so 

i stand up 

heading into position

 to exit 

when he stops for the traffic light

 i look over 

to my right

 out the window 

there are people standing

 around

 that

 spot 

again

 this time

 i pay attention

 well 

lookee

 there

 on the wall

 its a banksy!

 when i get off

 i walk back

take a photo

 just like everyone else 

its interesting

 to note

 that the owner of the building

 a commercial building

 containing

 a dws

 (designer shoe warehouse)

 has

 covered

 the extremely pricey street art

 with a plexiglass 'shield'

 it will keep vandals and thieves away

 is the thought process

 but

 trust me

 if 

someone 

wants to steal it 

they will 

thieves

 are

 nothing 

if not resourceful

its so cool 

to have a

 banksy 

in the 'hood
