In the fall and spring, morning walks in NYC can be quite hectic. In the summer, instead of so many suits, you catch glimpses of runners running on by. You catch a moment, or two of doggies being walked around the block. You also do see children running to or away from summer camp. Ah, the summer.
It’s all a bit of a mental break – a reprieve – from the usual more chaotic hustle and bustle. As for myself, you’ll find me walking the dog, walking for exercise, and walking to work. I’m relishing getting my steps in and bringing calmness to my being while raising my heart rate.

Ah Yes Morning Dance Walks Greeting All the Neighbors
Yes As Many Are Golden Agers and Retired too Yet Sadly
In the Larger Neighborhoods With Half A Million Dollar
Homes Or So of Hundreds of Houses
What is So Strange is Rarely Even
in Vacation Season Do Any Children
Play Outside Where my FRiEnDS
And i Could Be Seen Playing Softball
Games in Small Neighborhood Green
Circles In Between Homes Back Then
Where Nightfall Was Such A Bummer as We
Were Having So Much Fun All That Was Left
To Do Inside Dear Miriam Was 3 Black And White
Channels As That Became Life’s Routine Indoors
Hmm True Down
Here at Least
Life Has Moved
So Much Indoors
Even The Tennis Courts
At the City Park That Used
to Be Teeming With Competition
Among Strangers on the Weekend
Are Empty Now Without A Soul Left
Or A Ball Traveling over the Net
Where i Used to Put a ‘Mean Spin’
on the Ball in the Decade of Tennis
That No Longer Exists as Nintendo
And Such
Has taken
An Avatar
Place of Flesh
And Blood Moving
Connecting Co-Creating Souls
That’s Really Sad As We Really Have
to Move and Play With Others to Learn
to Regulate Our Emotions and Integrate Our Senses
Without That Life Tends to Fall Apart From ToGeTHeR For Real
Anyway There’s Nothing Stopping the Play Yet Us And i Find Ways
to Overcome
With a Public
Dance That At
Least Spreads in SMiLes…
Oh Dear Lord And So Important
For Dogs to get Out and Walk
Their Masters too With SMiLes..:)
