what'd u do 2day?

In the courtyard
At the MoMA
People are writing wishes
And tying them to a tree

People are taking pictures
And people are sitting in chairs
And a man
Who was doing a crossword
Stands up
To meet his friend

On 5th Avenue
In the Street
There's a parade
And loud drums

There are people
On the sidewalk
Eating hot dogs
And people driving
In their cars

In Central Park
By Turtle Pond
A man
Wearing a blue hat
Flies a kite
On a fishing line
Tying silver garland
As he lets his line out
5 silver strands
Fluttering in the blue sky
Over children and parents
Boys playing soccer
Widows
And old men

In the photo store
On 9th Avenue
People wait in line
To buy cameras

They're buying cameras
And lenses
TVs and speakers
And they're waiting in line
Eating pretzels

On Bleeker Street
In the Village
People carry shopping bags
And eat cupcakes

People drink coffee in cafes
And browse books in the bookstore
They eat noodles and hamburgers
Sushi and burritos
And ride bikes and skateboards
And listen to their headphones

On the bridge
To Brooklyn
People jog and they walk
As the sun sets behind them
And turns the beams red

Bedford Avenue is busy, too
Grocery stores and restaurants
Bars and cafes
Bookstores, record stores, botiques
And bodegas
People packed around tables
On the sidewalk

And in my apartment
I'm making pizza and cookies
And drinking wine
With my friends

A record is playing
It goes round and round

What did you wish for, today?
