NY
Taxi’s zipping by, unending horns honking–
pedestrians trying to find their way–
around this concrete jungle.
Snowflakes kiss my cheek–
wind punishes me with a slap.
I’m lost in this skyscraping jungle–
buildings as far as the eye can see.
And then my heart swells with pride–
as I see the soaring American flags–
I am Free.
