design, Flat Iron Building, humor, Manhattan, New York City, passage, perspective, photography, poetry, sight seeing, skyscrapers, tanka, time, walking

once upon a time
the Flat Iron provided
the very best view…
falling behind my family
to take more photos

flat iron building... step by step to the side it flattens

flat iron building…
step by step to the side
it flattens

How ironic

Coming to love

This life and world

And at the same time

Letting it all go…

what a day for a day dream...

what a day
for a day dream…

in nature

long conversation…
through different windows
