New York. Drops of rain on the tables
Reflect the skyscrapers
And the fly on the window buzzes
At the flashing-by buses
The green of the Central Park attracts
More people than Saks
On fifth avenue. As the gravity pulls down
Warm rays, all around
Grass breaks through the molten granite.
No where else on the planet
Does the eye meet such metamorphosis.
Long abandoned offices,
Warm showers, sunshine, morning dew...
My applause to you!
“Big Apple,” I beg you with all my soul,
Please, resist the fall.
