now & then

Rain....it falls... sometimes with abandon....other times a gentle mist. All in all this essential element allows a landscape abounding in infinite tropical flora. Colors and fragrances amaze and delight. This is my Hawaiian night. Never do I take tis for granted. Instead, it brings days so very full of surprise and wonder. I have known the opposite.... born in that place so different....The Bronx.
Empire State.... City.... Manhattan.... the new world Rome; a place where all rush upwards towards the starry sky.... thrones above the honking horns.... forever neon OPEN. Heartless and shameless.... Yankee home runs.... Bronx Bomber aloofness. Stacks of tenement rooms filled bodies both wishful and hopeless. I wanted ESCAPE! Elevated and Subway tracks.....Please God...
Take Me Away!......FAR AWAY.
