Not Much Today

  There isn't much I have to say -

these pictures were a week ago, 

but could as well have been today.

Screeching seagulls hanging low

a cool wind sweeps across the bay,

these pictures were a week ago

but could as well have been today.

The Throgg's Neck Bridge's gentle bow 

has made the fractured city stay -

these pictures were a week ago,

who saw what happened there today?

There is no way for me to know.

There isn't much I have to say,

these pictures were a week ago -

but might as well have been today.
