of course ...


of course
 it will be
done
 by christmas
 the new year's eve fools
 have
 to have
some
 where
 to stand
 packed
 like sardines
 in the frigid cold
 to watch
 the ball drop
 dont they?

 that was
 sort of 
the conversation
 i had
 with
 one of the female construction workers
 on
 the times square remodel
 the other morning
 when
 i stopped
 to take that photo

as
 for 
h&m
 its
 supposed
 to be open
 by
 november

  they're going
 to
have
to
 be
putting in
 some
 golden overtime hours
between
 now and then
 from what i can see 
as i walk past
if they're going to live up to what's on the sign

 if
they'd
 only
remove
 those
 friggin'
 'walls'
 so the street
 would
 be back
 to its normal width
 i dont think
 i would mind the mess
 so much

 ya know
