Young couples jogging. An old man walking a small dog. Violins play.

Snow falls over upper Manhattan.  Kids make angels with spread arms and legs. Horse-drawn carriages pass by.

The Dakota looms over the park. Tourists take pictures of where a man was killed. Strawberry fields forever.

I sit and watch as the sun comes out. Clouds part. This bench was dedicated to Ethel Goldberg by her late husband Samuel.

My rent is free.
