you know if someone jumped from the observation deck we would not see the fall until the 20th floor. by that time splat and no time to get out of the way. i think they should have giant fans blowing upward so we could see a jumper. tsk, tsk, i forgot, how many of us walk looking up, i walk looking down in case of giant fisures (you know those openings) or earthquakes and money on the ground. especially the money. i once found a quarter.

i found a dollar in the street the other day in brooklyn. once, when i lived in harlem, i found a little bag full of several grams of cocaine.

i will arise and go now, for always night and day
i hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
while i stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
i hear it in the deep heart's core.

During my luckiest day ever, about two weeks ago, I found a plastic elf toy on the pavement.

Sorry Jack, I am poetry ignorant. I wish I loved poetry. I could wear even more black eyeliner and get swoony over guys in poloneck sweaters talking about iambic whatnots.
