a simple day

i drove across the g.w. yesterday for the first time in awhile...i saw the wide hudson expanse...saw the projects clinging to its banks...saw the slinking autos on blacktop-ed hi-ways...saw the distant crystalline spires of the city in the drizzle of an evening haze...i had no response...no thought...simply an unwilling observer to the figment of something's imagination...reflected by the meandering river...reflected in the the half-light...for once everything stopped and i jumped in...
