back home

I'm back home for a while.

My stay in the city was exhausting and allowed

no time for wandering or sight-seeing.

Each morning I walked a block over on 28th street from my hotel

to the subway and then a block from my stop at Union Square to work.

But they were interesting blocks!

28th street is known for its flower markets so each morning the 

street was lined with buckets of beautiful plants and flowers.

Union Square is known for its wonderful farmers' market

and the players who set up their chess boards awaiting an opponent.

The schools are opening and the streets are filled with students

from all over the world...so many aspiring young ones.

It's good to be home where I can sleep in the moonlight

under an open window listening to the ocean of crickets.
