Ah...alas! <br />The leaving of New York. <br /> <br />We decide to take <br />the A train <br /> <br />but when the time <br />comes <br /> <br />we jump into <br />a cab <br /> <br />for a quick getaway <br />leaving 'that' skyline behind <br /> <br />as if we were <br />still stuck into a postcard. <br /> <br />NY <br />& us <br /> <br />though parting <br />still a part of it <br /> <br />loving the way <br />it buys into the myth <br /> <br />of <br />itself. <br /> <br />I whistle the Strayhorn/Ellington <br />tune <br /> <br />'TAKE THE A TRAIN>'<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/taking-the-a-train-for-barry/
